Temporal Mandibular Joint Injuries (TMJ)

These are injuries to the tendons, ligaments and/or disc in your jaw. They can be painful, debilitating and require extensive care and treatment. Studies have established that the TMJ can be injured in falls or automobile accidents. A direct blow to the head or jaw often causes this injury but is not required. For example, injury to the TMJ can occur from the hyper-extension/hyper-flexion forces experienced by a person in a rear end automobile collision.
