TMJ or temporo-mandibular joint, is related to the jaw joint. It is often used as a generic term to describe the dysfunctions of the jaw muscles. As this joint is found in front of the ear and connects the jawbone to the skull, the proper function of the TMJ is mainly dependent on the maintenance of healthy teeth.
The TMJ has been called the most important joint in the body because of its profound influence on other parts of the body. The discomfort feelings in the jaw muscles at the time of functioning, pain, stuffiness or itching, loss of hearing and dizziness in ear, pain and blurring of vision in the eye, grinding or clenching of teeth, pain in face, head and neck are the common symptoms of the TMJ problems.
TMJ problem occurs for various reasons such as crooked teeth or a deep overbite, the loss of teeth, various types of trauma to the head, whiplash injuries and even poor posture, strain of dental surgery like poorly fitted crowns and dentures etc. Sometimes a back or neck injury and excessive stress also trigger the TMJ problems.
