What is TMJ?

The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) connects the lower jaw to the rest of the skull; you can feel where it connects right behind your cheekbones.

This joint is crucial to overall oral health, but stress, injury and misalignment can lead to a TMJ disorder, also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular disorder).

This problem can arise from less noticeable sources as well, such as arthritis or bruxism (unconscious teeth grinding and clenching).
