Millions of American’s suffer from the effects of temporomandibular disorder (TMD, also known as “TMJ”). The symptoms of TMD, which is named after the joint that connects the jaw to the skull, include:
- Popping sounds in the jaw
- Inability to fully open the mouth
- Jaw pain
- Headaches
- Earaches
- Toothaches
- Other types of facial pain
