Temporomandibular joint disorders (tmj) are caused by an imbalance of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the jaw joint and the surrounding areas. this can be caused by poor posture, clenching or grinding of the teeth, arthritis, trauma, or a misalignment of the jaw. the resulting muscle spasms, inflammation, and pain can lead to difficulty opening and closing the mouth, difficulty chewing, and a clicking or popping sound when the jaw moves.
