What is TMJ? TMJ is short for Tempromandibular Joint. All people have two TMJ's. Some people have a disorder of one or both TM joint's and this is what people are refering to when they say that "they have TMJ." Actually they are having some sort of "disorder" with one or both TM joints. The TM Joints are the only joints in the body that are directed into position by something other than soft tissues (ligaments, tendons, muscles, etc.) The teeth play the major role in where the joints position upon closing. As there is no resiliancy in the teeth the joints can then be forced into a position that is not favorable. This generally will result in some sort of abnormality in one or both the joints, but not necessarily pain. Sometimes a "click" or "pop" can be heard upon opening or closing the mouth. Although this is not considered normal, many people lead normal healthy lives without discomfort and with the presence of such "joint sounds." Although it does not have to be exactaly perfect, there must be a considerable amount of harmony between the teeth and the TM joints.

TM Joint Disorders The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is in simple words the jaw-joint, which plays a very important role in opening and closing of the mouth. TMJ disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw-joint. These disorders exhibit as various sysmptoms like pain or clicking sounds. Early detection and treatment are important, as some types of TMJ problems can lead to more serious conditons. No one treatment can resolve TMJ disorders completely, and treatment takes time to be effective. You may be having a TMJ disorder if:- You have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth You have frequent headaches or neck-aches, and the pain gets worse when you clench your teeth Your jaw clicks, pops, grates, catches or locks when you open your mouth You find it difficult to open your mouth, eat or yawn You have ever injured your jaws, neck or head You have other joint-related problems, such as arthritis

64. Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) Temporomandibular joint disorders. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ)is the joint which connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull. http://www.scofsg.com/tmj.htm

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders Dysfunction of this joint can result in pain, limited movement, noises and difficulty chewing and opening the mouth. TMJ disorders can be relatively minor, or they can be extremely painful and debilitating. The most common signs and symptoms in patients with TMJ problems are: Pain in the area of the joint Clicking, popping or crackling sounds in the joint A habit of clenching or grinding the jaws Sore jaw muscles when awakening Difficulty in fully opening the mouth Frequent headaches or neckaches Locking of the joint The cause of most TM joint problems is related to trauma, systemic disease, or developmental jaw problems. Trauma can be either due to an acute injury (macrotrauma), such as a fall, car accident, or blow to the jaw, or due to a prolonged minor stress to the joints (microtrauma) caused by clenching or grinding the teeth. This frequently results in displacement of the disc of cartilage that cushions the ball-and-socket of the joint, resulting in clicking and pain. Diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus can also affect the TMJ, causing destruction of the cartilage

Clinical conferences are being held once in a month to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of patients with TMD who need a multidisciplinary approach. A home page on TMD was open in WWW (World-Wide Web) to display them and to make them accessible from the members of the team as well as other doctors outside the hospital. The contents include chief complaints, clinical history, present status, radiographic, CT and MRI images, treatment history and problems in each year. each case is discussed in amiling list or in conference corner in WWW. So far, 25 cases discussed in 17 conferences were displayed in WWW. The system seems to be quite effective in establishing the treatment of TMD because information on each case is available anytime to anyone involved in the study and treatment of TMD.

TM Disorders TM Joint Locking TMJ Clicking Arthritis of the TMJ TMJ Dislocation Masticatory Myalgia Trismus or Spasm of the Jaw Bruxism What is a TMJ Problem? When a patient is said to have TMJ, this means they could have any one of a group of conditions that affects the function of the jaw. Another and better collective term is TMD which means Temporomandibular Disorders. Actually the term TMJ is an abbreviation which means Temporomandibular Joint or Jaw Joint. Using this term does not mean the joint itself is the source of the problem (although sometimes it is). If you have been told you have TMJ or TMD, it could mean you have a disk problem in the jaw, arthritis of the jaw joint, jaw muscles that are inflammed and painful, or one of about 15 other conditions which are known to disrupt jaw function. Why should I be concerned?

TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders - Special Emphasis on Non-surgical TMJ Treatment in Houston, TX - Many people who suffer from chronic headaches, neck aches, clicking or popping jaws, or facial pain near the cheeks or ears may have TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disease. These symptoms are usually related to the bite or how the jaws fit together. TMJ is treated by dentists trained in orthopedics and orthodontics, in addition to advanced general dental techniques. KFS Index of Craniomandibular Pain The purpose of this page: Acquaint our patients with why they may have TMJ dysfunction and head and neck pain. When drugs don't work for you: Many people suffer from dizziness, earaches, face, head, neck shoulder, and back pain. They may also suffer chronic fatigue, irritability, blocked or ringing ears, difficulty in swallowing, temporary loss of memory and arthritis-like joint pains or numbness in parts of the body that seem to have no relation to the teeth. The case is frequently unrecognized by physicians whose standard training has not equipped them to understand the relationship between the teeth and jawbone and the alignment of the jaws and rest of the body. Many dentists are also unaware of how closely their work is linked to a patient's general health.

Thirsk Chiropractic Clinic What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a profession which specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints and their effects on the nervous system. Chiropractors treat the causes of pain associated with many of the problems of modern living. They use their hands to adjust the joints of the spine and other parts of the body where signs of restriction in movement are found. This adjustment improves mobility of the joints and relieves pain by restoring normal function. The body's own healing processes are then able to get on with the task of improving health. Chiropractors today treat many thousands of patients every week for a wide variety of ailments affecting all parts of the body. Common problems that can be helped include: headache and migraine neck pain shoulder, arm, wrist and hand problems chest or abdominal pain back pain or sciatica hip, leg, knee, ankle and foot problems

Disc is displaced forward of condyle, clicking on and off of the condyle with opening and closing. TMD-THE LOCKED JAW If the clicking joint is not treated, it may lead to "locking" of the jaw. In this condition, the disc becomes deformed or wedged between the ball and socket and the sufferer experiences a limitation of jaw movement often with a feeling of "catching or locking" in the joint with movement. Headaches and jaw or facial pain are usually seen with these patients. In addition, many experience various ear symptoms. If treated early, most patients can be treated without surgery but if allowed to progress, degenerative changes and surgery may result. Closed Lock. Disc is displaced and does not reduce
