Jaw 

The human jaw is a functional marvel. It acts as a powerful anatomical clamp, exerting up to 250 pounds of pressure per square inch. Your lower jaw can move forward and back as well as side-to-side. It’s even got a trick that’s unique to all the joints in the human body: it dislocates and relocates every time you chew.

The joint that allows the lower jaw to move is known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is also its biggest weakness. TMJ disorders can arise from an imbalance of the delicate workings of the joint, the muscles that control it, and the nervous system that governs those muscles. These disorders can cause muscle strain, pain, and dysfunction, which can result in symptoms including headache, ear pain, and difficulty chewing.

The jaw also plays an important role in facial aesthetics. A well-defined jawline helps create an attractive, youthful profile. To create a more sculpted appearance, Dr. Yagoda can enhance a weak jawline and can remove the jowls associated with the aging process. She can also enhance a weak jawline.
