What is the temporomandibular joint and where is it?
The temporomandibular joint is the ball and socket joint that connects the jawbone to the skull and is located right in front of each ear. TMJ disorder occurs when the joint is misaligned or not operating properly. Symptoms range from mild (a dull ache) to severe (migraines and chronic pain).
