About Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
The temporomandibular joints are the two joints on either side of the face that connect the jawbone to the skull. The temporomandibular joints allow us to properly open/close our mouths, bite, chew, speak, and so much more! When the temporomandibular joints are not functioning properly it can lead to discomfort, pain, and various other complications.
