What Is TMJ?
TMD (temporomandibular disorders), commonly referred to as TMJ, is characterized by significant pain in the jaw and a limited range of motion in the jaw joint. It can affect chewing, talking, swallowing, and sometimes even breathing.
TMJ is associated with several symptoms. Some of them include recurrent facial pain, swelling, constant teeth grinding, facial sensitivity, jaw joint locking, and a limited range of motion in the jaw.
Common TMJ symptoms include the following: 
- Headaches and migraines
- Tenderness and pain surrounding the jaw, ears, cheeks, and neck
- Stiffness in the jaw
- Earaches
- Painful chewing
- Pain while yawning
- Locking of the jaw
- Uncontrolled change of facial expression
- Changes in the fit of the upper and lower teeth
