What causes TMJ disorder?

The condition occurs when the two small joints in front of your ears are aggravated by stress, a misaligned bite, trauma, or other factors. Your jaw joints malfunction and cause discomfort. Your entire chewing system is affected.

What symptoms do sufferers of TMJ disorder experience?
