Basically, TMJ lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn. In general, TemporoMandibular Joint disorder means that the joint connecting the upper and lower jaw isn\u2019t working well. Having problems in this joint is fairly difficult because this is one of the most difficult joints in the body. This joint is responsible for moving the lower jaw forward, backward and side-to-side. Our dentist at Smile Center Southern California, CA can provide you treatment options to help you get that dream smile.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”TemporoMandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder Symptoms” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:40px|text_align:center|color:%233e5a8e|line_height:50px” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1527026958985{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]\n
