The temporomandibular joint or as it is more often referred to, the TMJ, does one of the most important jobs yet is one of the smallest of joints in the body! The temporomandibular joint is the joint where the bottom jaw meets the top and though very delicate, it relies on the muscle around it to give it strength.We are always opening our mouths in some way or other, be it talking, eating, chewing gum putting constant strain on the TMJ.
In sports for example, the jaw is badly exposed to impact, especially contact sports, which is one of the reasons why we wear mouth-guards. But the biggest danger to the TMJ is that of stress, because we maybe unaware of the fact we are grinding our teeth which can cause terrible damage to this joint that will eventually need surgery to overcome.
