“TMJ” stands for the temporomandibular joints, the small joints in front of each ear that attach your lower jaw to your skull. These joints allow you to open and close your mouth, chew, speak, and swallow. TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of factors including major trauma such as an auto accident, teeth-clenching, or systemic joint disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
