The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint of the jaw. It acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. The TMJ is a bilateral synovial articulation between the mandible (lower jaw) and the temporal (lower lateral walls of the skull) bone. TMJ disorders or TMD can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.
