The Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ) are hinges that connect your jaws to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. These joints allow you to move your mouth up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Some people can occasionally have problems with these hinges and it can cause TMJ Disorders (TMJD).
