Jaw disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint, muscles, and surrounding structures. Common types include temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and jaw misalignment. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty chewing, and clicking sounds when moving the jaw. These disorders can result from various factors, such as injury, arthritis, or teeth grinding. Treatment options often include physical therapy, dental splints, or medications to relieve pain and improve function. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct structural issues or relieve chronic discomfort.
