TMJ Disorders
TMJ, or the temporomandibular joint, connects the jawbone to the skull and enables jaw movement for chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ disorders (TMD) occur when this joint or its surrounding muscles are compromised, causing symptoms like jaw pain, clicking sounds, facial pain, headaches, or difficulty opening the mouth. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons can use medical and surgical interventions to restore function, repair structural issues or replace the joint.
