The **Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)** connects your lower jaw to your skull and allows essential movements like chewing, speaking and opening your mouth. A problem affecting the TMJ, jaw muscles or surrounding structures is known as a **Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)**. 🔍 **Common symptoms include:** • Jaw pain or tenderness • Clicking or popping sounds while opening or closing • Difficulty or pain while chewing • Limited mouth opening • Jaw locking • Headaches or facial pain • Ear discomfort or a feeling of fullness • Jaw deviation while opening • Teeth grinding or clenching 🧩 **Possible contributing factors** TMJ disorders can be associated with **bruxism, muscle dysfunction, trauma, parafunctional habits, stress and other musculoskeletal factors**. The cause can be multifactorial, so a proper clinical evaluation is important. 👨‍⚕️ **Diagnosis & Treatment** A detailed dental and TMJ examination helps identify the underlying problem. Depending on the diagnosis, management may include **habit modification, physiotherapy, occlusal splints, medication when appropriate, restorative or orthodontic considerations, and other specialist treatments**. ⚠️ **Don't ignore persistent jaw pain, locking or difficulty opening your mouth.** ✨ **Healthy TMJ.
