TMD is short for *temporomandibular disorders*, a group of conditions involving the jaw joint, chewing muscles, and related structures. It is commonly used in dentistry and medicine to describe jaw pain, joint noises, and limits in jaw movement. TMD is a clinical umbrella term, not a single disease and not a dental material. Clinicians use it to organize diagnosis, documentation, and treatment planning for jaw-related symptoms.
