Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. TMD can cause pain in your jaw, face, and head, as well as difficulty chewing, speaking, and opening your mouth wide.
The exact cause of TMD is not fully understood, but there are a number of factors that can contribute to its development, including:
đŹ Grinding teeth at night
đ Clenching of the jaw due to stress
đ€ Tight musculature around the jaw
đ· Injury to the jaw
đ¶ Structural abnormalities of the jaw
