According to experts, millions of Americans suffer from headaches, earaches, jaw tenderness or dull aching facial pain caused by problems with the alignment of the joints in their jaw.
Jaw pain can be brought on by a variety of causes, including clenching or grinding of the teeth, head injuries and even arthritis. These problems are called "TMD," which is short for "temporomandibular joint disorders."
