TMJ is the acronym for temporomandibular joint, a very long name for one of the most important joints in your body. It’s what allows for movement of the jaw. Your TMJ is comprised of a movable part, namely the lower jaw bone (the mandible) and an immovable part, the socket formed by the temporal bone in the cranium. It also has a little disc that helps to separate the two joint surfaces, providing a cushion. This disc also helps to guide the movement of one bony surface over the other.
