Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are disorders of the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joints, and the nerves associated with chronic facial pain. Any problem that prevents the complex system of muscles, bones, and joints from working together in harmony may result in temporomandibular disorder.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge-like joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull. You have a pair of these joints.
TMD, sometimes is also referred to as TMJD, which is a group of conditions that happen when your TMJ becomes inflamed or painful.
Signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders may include:
*Pain or tenderness of your jaw
*Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints
*Aching pain in and around your ear
*Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
*Aching facial pain
*Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
*Any disruption in the function of your TMJ can result in swollen lymph nodes. When the lymph nodes are swollen, this can result in pain in the face, neck, or jaw area. If TMJ is not the cause of your swollen lymph nodes, it can either be due to viral or bacterial infections. A tooth abscess can result when bacteria enters the pulp of your tooth. You should see a your Dentist or Doctor if you suspect an infection.
*Myofascial pain. This is the most common form of TMD. It results in discomfort or pain in the fascia (connective tissue covering the muscles) and muscles that control jaw, neck and shoulder function.
*Internal derangement of the joint. This means a dislocated jaw or displaced disk, (cushion of cartilage between the head of the jaw bone and the skull), or injury to the condyle (the rounded end of the jaw bone that articulates with the temporal skull bone).
*Degenerative joint disease. This includes osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the jaw joint.

En quoi ça consiste
Pour le TMJ, vous passez l’heure surtout à faire évaluer la mâchoire, le cou et les mouvements qui déclenchent la douleur — ouverture, fermeture, palpation, tests précis — puis à recevoir des exercices, des conseils de posture et, au besoin, du travail manuel doux.
