The precise reason for TMJ disorder is still unknown, but it is presumed that the cause has to do with a range of factors such as genes, jaw injury and the onset of arthritis. TMJ is usually a temporary condition and can be managed without surgical intervention, however in severe cases, surgery can provide patients with tremendous benefit.
