Temporomandibular joint pain or Temporomandibular Dysfunction are terms used to describe pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication; that is, the muscles that move the jaw.

Many people suffer from Tempromandibular Joint pain or Tempromandibular Dysfunction. Symptoms include:

Pain on opening
Inability to open wide or move from side to side comfortably
Neck and shoulder pain.
Ear pain, hearing loss.
Ringing in the ears.
Clenching, night grinding
Chronic fatigue
Noise, grating or popping in joint

Treatment of these problems can be complicated. The cause can often be multi-factorial.
