The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located on either side of the head in front of your ears, helps connect your jawbone to your skull. TMJ helps you chew, swallow and speak with a combination of muscles and ligaments. You can experience pain in the jaw joint due to multiple issues, such as genetics, arthritis or jaw injury. Both nonsurgical and surgical treatments can help with the discomfort and pain associated with TMJ disorders. If you are looking for effective TMJ treatment in Mississauga, get in touch with GD Orthodontics.
