Interesting Joint Problems.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Your jaw is one of the most important joints in your body, and also one of the most complicated ones. The jaw can move up and down, and back and forward. Several muscles tether your jaw to your skull on both sides of your head and control the motions of chewing, talking, and yawning. And the small disc that cushions the bones, the " temporomandibular" joint. This joint acts as a shock absorber, and when something goes out of whack, this could lead to a "temporomandibular disorder". Some symptoms of that are a clicking noise in the jaw when chewing.
