What is TMD?
First, TMJ or TMD involves the temporomandibular (TM) joints, which are located on each side of your head. These joints work with your muscles, ligaments, discs and bones, enabling you to speak, chew and yawn.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) occur when your TMs aren’t working properly.
Take a deep breath and come with your finger tips tracing your jaws. Starting from your mouth reaching towards your (TM) joints, located closer to the ears. Continue moving your finger tips with medium pressure towards temples. How does it feel?
