What TMJ Disease Actually Is

A constellation of mechanical failures:

  • Disc displacement

  • Ligament damage and instability

  • Degenerative joint disease and arthritis

  • Inflammation, cartilage wear, bone remodeling

  • Locking, chronic pain, failed prior therapies

Symptoms often include jaw pain, popping/clicking, limited opening, ear discomfort, headaches, facial pain, bite changes, and sleep disruption. Yet pathology begins long before pain – just like knee arthritis.
