TMJ dysfunction refers to problems affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jawbone to the skull. This joint plays an essential role in speaking, chewing, swallowing, and facial movements.
When the muscles, ligaments, joint structures, or surrounding tissues become irritated or dysfunctional, pain and movement restrictions can occur.
TMJ dysfunction can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with daily activities and overall well-being.
Without appropriate treatment, symptoms may become chronic and increasingly difficult to manage.
Symptoms vary from person to person and may fluctuate over time.
