Jaw Joint
Treatment In Pune

The temporal Joint is a hinge joint that connects the jawbone to the skull. Pain and inappropriate compromised movements of the jaw cause temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ disorder), commonly known as a jaw-joint disorder.

Causes of TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint disorder relates to the pain and dysfunction in joints that connect the mandible ( largest bone in the human skull that holds lower teeth in place) to the skull and muscles that enable the movement of the jaw. The Temporomandibular disorder can be caused due to:

 

  •  Heavy injuries in jaw joints
  •  Crowded teeth
  •  Collapsed bites and tooth wear
  • Disc displacement
  •  Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  •  Stress

Symptoms Of Jaw Joint Problems

Although pain in jaw joints and chewing muscles is the primary symptom associated with TMJ, it is also characterized by other symptoms such as

 

  • Pain in neck, jaw, and face
  •  Severe stiffness in jaw muscle
  • Locking of the jaw with limited movement
  •  Clicking or popping sound while closing or opening the mouth
  •  A drastic change in the alignment of lower and upper jaws.
