The field of dentistry has expanded to include more of the interventions. The function of chewing the food is not performed by the teeth alone but the whole of the muscular and bone movements have to occur in tandem so that a desirable motion is produced. Only then we can effectively chew our food; teeth act only as the grinders! This muscular – bone movement includes the jaw bone that moves relative to the skull. The temporomandibular joint or the TMJ is the place from where this hinge type movement is relayed. This joint is located near the ear up in the skull. Any type of inconsistency or problem in this joint affects the movement of the jawbone badly and the chewing could not be done by teeth in the mouth. TMJ treatment in India is being offered as a specialized service by the expert TMJ dentists who have developed proven specializations in such problems.
The temporomandibular joint is a hinge type of joint that facilitates the up – down and sideways movement of the jaw. There is disc like those found in vertebral column that offers the cushion. Sometimes, this disc or the muscles or connective tissue could get affected for the bad and this creates the dysfunction of the TMJ. The causes of these components getting affected could be many like –
Injury – this is among the leading causes. A severe blow at the place or some crash in accident can cause damage to this joint and generate deformities/fractures.
Stress – stress is a condition that is characterized by the continuous unnoticeable stiffening of the muscles including that of face. This can cause excess burden on the TMJ muscles to cause damage/tiredness.
Habit of continuous teeth grinding – many people have a habit of teeth grinding. This can also cause excess pressure to accumulate at the TMJ.
Arthritis of the joint - persons with history of arthritis can suffer at this joint also.
Disc displacement – disc could get displaced due to multiple reasons and cause trouble in movement at the TMJ.
