What is TMJ Disorder? Do I have it?
The Tempromandibular Joints (TMJ) connect the jaw bone to the skull and are located just in front of each ear. They are joints that operate as a ‘ball and socket’, and depend on proper alignment of muscles to work smoothly. Important in many ways, the Tempromandibular Joints are necessary for opening and closing the mouth, chewing, swallowing, breathing, talking, yawning and kissing.
This is a very complex system that is just beginning to be understood. At Sydney Dental Professionals our team is trained in TMJ Diagnosis and treatment and aspires to help you recover from this condition.
