If the deep face was the engine,
then the temporomandibular joint is the gearbox.
It does not generate force.It directs it.

* Muscle contraction → controlled motion
* Force → alignment
* Movement → function
And it does this in two places at once, perfectly synchronised.
Because this is not one joint.It is two joints acting as one system.
