Hi.. TMJ dysfunction happens due to wrong teeth alignment. Means, upper teeth won't land properly on lower teeth. Unfortunately this cannot be cured by any medicines or home remedies. It can be a serious issue requiring operation if left untreated. It is surprising but braces (Orthodontic treatment) is the only way to solve it.
