Imaging
Images show structure, not the whole symptom
Panoramic X-ray, TMJ-focused imaging, and CBCT can show structural clues, but symptoms also depend on motion and muscle response.
Examination
TMJ examination checks function before treatment is discussed.
This page explains how imaging, mouth opening, muscle tenderness, jaw movement, and bite records are interpreted together without one-test conclusions.

What This Page Clarifies
Function
Mouth opening and jaw movement are recorded
Opening range, deviation, clicking, locking, and changes before and after care can be compared.
Muscle and bite
Muscle tenderness and bite contact are checked together
Chewing muscle tension and bite-contact records are used as clues, not as automatic treatment commands.
