TMJ stands for temporor-mandibular joint-temporor, as in temple area of skull; mandibular as in mandible, (or lower jaw); and joint as in where the head and jaw meet. Problems in this joint may be caused by a misalignment of the teeth, by trauma, or by excess muscle tension. Aside from the two bones that meet there, cartilage buffers them and five muscles are involved in the area. If something goes wrong a good deal of trouble can result.<\/p>\n
Problems in this area can cause:<\/p>\n
Dental treatments for the condition can include replacing missing teeth, moving teeth, adjusting the bite; filling gaps between teeth, etc. There is no one solution that is right for all cases. Sometimes a plastic mouthpiece is used to prevent clenching or grinding that is contributing to the problem. If left untreated and taken to extremes, surgery may be required to repair a badly damaged joint.<\/p>\n
