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