According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, about 5% to 12% of Americans suffer with TMJD.   Each side of the head has TMJ, which sits just in front of the ears. The temporomandibular joint merges the mandible (lower jaw) and the temporal bone of the skull. TMJ is one of the most intricate joints in the body. Why is this so? The TMJ enables the movement of the jaw in many directions from moving forward and back, opening and closing, to gliding side to side.
