What is Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)?

“TMD” stands for “temporomandibular disorder” and refers to problems related to pain and improper functioning of:

• Your jaw joints (which are among the most complex joints in the human body)
• Muscles surrounding your jaw joints
• Associated structures in your head, neck, and face (including but not limited to your teeth)

The sooner TMD is accurately diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. Although there is no “cure” for TMD, many patients experience relief of their symptoms shortly after beginning treatment. In addition, more than 95% of all patients can be treated successfully and without surgery of any kind!
