Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a mix of muscle and nerve issues that involve the jaw joint (TMJ) and the nearby muscles and bones. The global market for TMJ disorders has different types, like myofascial pain, internal derangement (ID), and Osteoarthritis.
As per the American Family Physician (AFP), TMD affects up to 15% of adults, most commonly between the ages of 20 to 40. The usual signs are jaw pain, trouble moving the jaw, earache, headaches, and facial pain.
Myofascial pain syndrome happens when the muscles used for chewing (masticatory muscles) get tense, tired, or go into spasm. Research from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders shows that up to 85% of people worldwide have this pain, boosting the growth of this part of the TMJ disorders market. The usual treatments for myofascial pain involve pain relievers, muscle relaxation, adjusting habits causing jaw strain, and using oral appliances. Big companies are creating advanced devices to treat myofascial pain, like MJ Health's FDA-approved TMJ NextGeneration Device.
Internal derangement (ID) of the TMJ is when something goes wrong inside the joint, like the disc moving out of its normal place. It's the most common type of TMD. About 25% of the whole population has TMJ ID, usually treated without surgery. The FDA approving more products for TMJ ID treatment is making this part of the market grow. For example, in October 2020, TMJ CONCEPTS got FDA clearance for its Total Mandibular Joint Replacement System, a kind of TMJ prosthesis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a type of jaw joint disease. It mainly happens on one side and is a condition where the joint in the jaw wears down over time. This results in problems like the cartilage breaking down, changes in the bone structure, and the tissues around the joint degenerating. All of these factors contribute to pain and difficulty in moving the jaw properly. More than 17% of adults and children with rheumatoid arthritis also experience issues with their TMJ.
