The "jaw joint" at the side of the face in front of the ear. There are two joints, one on either side of the face. The joint is comprised of the lower jaw bone (mandible), which fits into a cove in the temporal bone of the skull, and a disc that seperates the two bones.

The joint formed by the condyle (head) of the mandible, the mandibular fossa, and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone. image

joint between the side of the skull and lower jaw.

The hinge between the base of the skull and the lower jaw.

Position at which lower jaw pivots on base of skull, just in front of ears

Relating to the temporal bone and the mandible, denoting the articulation of the lower jaw. Problems include pain and dysfunctional symptoms of the mouth, jaw, face, head, neck and other parts of the body due to a derangement in the structure and function of the components of the joint. Treatment is often multi-disciplinary involving dentists, physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc.

The hinge joint that connects the upper and lower jaw bones. This enables you to chew.

TMJ The joint between the lower jaw and the temporal bone of the skull.

(TMJ): The jaw joint between the mandible and the articular surface of the temporal bone. This joint allows opening and closing of the jaw, as well as numerous other movements. The joint contains a disc.

Joint between the skull and the mandible.

The connecting hinge mechanism between the upper jaw and the base of the skull.

The articulation of the jaw and skull; considered by some to be vital in resolution of injuries throughout the body.

Also abbreviated as "TMJ", this is the area forming the "hinge" between the mandible and the skull.

Joint between the condyle of the mandible and the mandibular fossa and the articular eminence of the temporal bone. There are several distinctive features of this joint, namely: a separate joint is formed on each side of the face, but function together as one unit; it is lined by fibrous cartilage and not hyaline cartilage; it contains an intra-articular meniscus that divides the joint into two separate synovial cavities.

The hinge joint between upper and lower jaws.

The hinge joint of the jaw bones.

The joint between the head of the lower jawbone and the temporal bone that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Only the lower jaw moves when a person talks, chews or breathes. The upper jaw is stationary. A TMJ misalignment can result in the entire lower set of teeth being out of alignment. The result is commonly known as "overbite" when the lower jaw extends past the upper jaw, or "underbite" when the lower jaw rests behind the upper jaw. Misalignment of the TMJ can result in serious pain in the joint, headaches, and resistance when opening and closing the mouth.

the point at which the jaw bone or mandible comes into contact with the skull or temporal bone.

Is a joint connecting the lower jaw, called the mandible, to the temporal bone at the side of the head. It allows a diverse range of movement to occur, the jaw can open and shut, but also move in and out and side to side. It is a synovial joint with a loose capsule, and acts as a modified hinge joint.

The ball and socket joint on each side of your jaw.

Temporo (temporal bone), mandibular ( lower jaw). This is the connecting hinge between the lower jaw and base of the skull. Also known as T.M.J. T.M.J. treatment is sometimes paid under medical.

TMJ. The joint between the lower jaw and the side of the head, located just in front of the ear.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a diarthrodial joint that connects the condyle of the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone at the side of a skull. As a modified hinge joint, not only does the TMJ enable the jaw to rotate open and closed, it also enables the jaw to translate forward and backward. The condyle can also move laterally and medially.
