What Does TMJ Stand For?
TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint
TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint, refers to the complex structure that connects the jawbone to the skull. This joint facilitates essential jaw movements, including chewing, speaking, and yawning. Disorders associated with TMJ can lead to pain, discomfort, and limited movement, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment. Understanding TMJ health is crucial for overall oral and craniofacial well-being.
