The temporomandibular joint is located on either side of the head right in front of the ears where the skull meets the jaw.


Numerous factors may cause the structural problems that lead to TMJ syndrome.
A missing tooth could be another cause.
The result is often that the protective disc between the skull and jaw becomes dislocated.
Pain often occurs because these muscles are overworked and strained over a long period of time.
Long term grinding or clenching of the teeth is another common cause of a TMJ disorder.
This adaptation causes tension in these soft tissues.
As a result, the persons posture can become worse and this can lead to even more structural problems.
It is this pressure which causes the pain associated with TMJ syndrome.
These soft tissues radiate out from the area of the temporomandibular joint itself to many areas of the head and body.


Quite simply, some people in the health field do not associate a TMJ disorder with pain in distant areas of the head and body.
Many people needlessly suffer in pain for years because of this and never get TMJ relief.
TMJ dentists are a good resource for getting a thorough and complete diagnosis to determine if someone does, in fact, have a TMJ disorder.
