jaw bonesTemporomandibular joint disorders can cause pain and malfunctioning of the jaw joints and the muscles that control the movement of the jaw. These medical problems can cause one to suffer from bruxism which is grinding of the teeth. An article from http://patienttalk.org has featured several facts about temporomandibular joint disorders.
