2. What is TMJ?
• TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint.
• This joint allows us to bite, chew, talk, sing, yawn, etc.
• The joint lies on both sides of your mouth and acts like a hinge.
When this hinge joint becomes misaligned, it can cause severe pain
and a variety of symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, migraines,
shoulder pain, eye pain, vision loss, and even hearing loss.

Work Together to Treat TMJ Disorders
The teeth are supposed to close neatly together when biting takes place. When
the TMJ loses its ability to keep the teeth in the right position, the TMJD patient
compensates by adjusting their jaw movements to affect alignment and improve
their bite. Over time this causes overworking and friction in the moving parts of
the joint, and pain, inflammation, arthritis, and crepitus can develop. It is nearly
impossible to achieve a balanced bite without having your head aligned directly
over your neck and shoulders.

to give you a better chance of having proper biomechanics in the
temporomandibular joints and a balanced bite.
