Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ Disorder) affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. This joint facilitates essential movements such as chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint or its surrounding muscles become dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including:

- Jaw Pain: Persistent discomfort or pain in the jaw area.

- Headaches: Frequent headaches that may be associated with jaw strain.

- Difficulty Opening/Closing the Jaw: Challenges with mouth movement, including pain or discomfort.

What is Orofacial Pain?

Orofacial Pain refers to pain that impacts the face, jaw, or mouth. This type of pain can encompass:

- Headaches: Including tension headaches and migraines.

- Toothaches: Pain originating from the teeth or surrounding structures.

- Jaw Pain: Discomfort or pain in the jaw area.

- Facial Pain: Pain affecting various parts of the face.
