Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) is a universal, all-encompassing term for disorders and conditions that affect the TMJ (jaw joint). It is important to understand and diagnose the exact cause of discomfort and dysfunction rather than group a given patient‘s condition under TMJ disorder. Time spent on diagnosis can make a huge difference when it comes to the outcome of care. It is for this reason that our research-based chiropractors and clinical physiotherapists will spend lots of time studying your particular case before making a final diagnosis, especially when it comes to Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, better known as a TMJ disorder or by its acronym: TMD).

Before we get started, it is important to get a few things out of the way. First and foremost, we need to get the terms right. TMJ refers to a body part. TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint. TMD refers to a disorder or dysfunction of the jaw joint. TMD stands for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction: an important point to remember, as some are confused about using the term “TMJ.” Some have even attempted to correct us. So, please keep in mind that when you come to our office complaining of jaw pain, we may refer to it as a TMD and not TMJ.

We are the team you should have if you have a Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD). Best of all, we can combine our efforts with your dentist (mouthguard) for even better results.

Should You Opt For Surgical Intervention?

Jaw surgery has numerous complications. The only time we would recommend jaw surgery is if there are complicated fractures. Aside from that, it is best if you avoid surgery. Common surgical complications of jaws include nerve damage, muscle damage, damage to jaw joints, paralysis of facial muscles, and damage to cranial nerves. Many have had a surgical intervention for their TMD. In the West, oral surgeons have begun advising their patients to seek a non-surgical intervention. The non-surgical intervention has proven to be the treatment of choice.

It has been proven to be more efficient in both the short and the long term.

Anatomy Of the “Jaw Joint” & How It Impacts The Recovery From A “Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction.”

You will need to understand the jaw if you are a jaw pain (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) sufferer. Understanding the jaw joint is not complete until you know the jaw joint’s anatomy. The jaw joint is a complex joint, and a problem or a malfunction with this joint can create jaw pain and a host of other terrible illnesses and disorders.

Jaw pain is perhaps one of the most commonly occurring problems globally, yet many go on suffering needlessly. Most who suffer from jaw pain do so because they were either not diagnosed early or received inappropriate treatments. Jaw disorder can sometimes present itself as an upper neck pain, slip-disc, headaches (migraines), or even ringing in the ears (Tinnitus). The most common reason why there are so many misdiagnosed Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction cases is that the disorder can present itself as neck pain, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even loss of energy.

The next section will break down and organize the jaw joint structures and components into different categories. To begin with, we deem it necessary to start with the joint capsule of the TMJ.

The Jaw Joint, Articular Disc & Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

  • The Joint Capsule: The TMJ capsule is a fibrous membrane encompassing the Temporomandibular Joint in its entirety. This fibrous layer attaches to the articular eminence as it surrounds the joint. Coincidently, the articular disc of the TMJ owes its‘ rise to this membrane. The Joint Capsule envelops the entire joint. It is the outermost soft-tissue component of the Jaw Joint.

The unique feature of the TMJ is the articular disc. The capsule has significance in many respects, but the most important of these is that the Articular disc is the fibrous extension of the capsule.

  • The Articular Disc: The disc is composed of fibrocartilagenous tissue, much like the ear’s firm and flexible elastic cartilage. The articular disc lies between the two bones that form the jaw joint (temporal bone and the mandible).

The articular disc is the most important anatomical structure found in the TMJ. The disc is biconcave to accommodate the sliding action between the two bones of the jaw. The articular disc is firm and appears round to oval in shape. Malfunction, slippage, or trauma to the articular disc can result in varying degrees of TMD. If you have a jaw dysfunction, we can help.
