Understanding 

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT, TMJ

TMJ is short for the temporomandibular joint. When issues occur with this joint, it can cause a range of disorders known as Temporomandibular Disorders, or TMD for short. TMJ and TMD are sometimes interchanged, despite the fact that everyone has a TMJ anatomically, but only persons with jaw pain, clicking, and other symptoms are labeled TMD.



Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) is a condition that causes severe face pain. TMD most typically affects women of childbearing age, but it can also affect men and children, and the severity of each case varies from slight discomfort to significant chronic pain that interferes with eating, talking, and everyday life. Visit our doctors at the Black Hills Sleep & TMJ Solutions for a consultation.
