Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common source of facial pain and  jaw dysfunction affecting millions of people worldwide. The TMJ acts as a sliding  hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull, facilitating essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint becomes misaligned,  inflamed, or damaged, it can lead to discomfort, restricted jaw movement, and  characteristic clicking or popping sounds. While occasional jaw clicking may not  be concerning, persistent pain or dysfunction warrants attention to prevent  worsening symptoms.
