The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw to the skull and enables speech and chewing movements. Grinding, bite problems and stress can strain this joint.
Clicking when opening the mouth, pain, locking and discomfort radiating around the ear are typical TMJ symptoms. Treatment is planned with splints, physiotherapy exercises and cause-oriented approaches.
