TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, otherwise known as the jaw joint. These joints are located in front of each ear and the body has a total of two. The TMJ is the joint formed by the temporal bone of the skull (temporo) with the lower jaw or mandible (mandibular). They are the points at which the lower jaw attaches to the base of the skull. By placing your fingers in front of your ears on both sides of your face, you can feel the movement of the lower jaw in the TM Joints.
