TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, located on each side of the jaw. It is not a condition, syndrome or disease. TMD (Temporomandibular Dysfunction) is a better way to describe associated dysfunctional symptoms of the TMJ, including jaw pain, headaches, back pain, difficulty chewing or biting, ringing in the ears, ear pain and more.
