TMJ是哺乳动物所特有的，但在不同的哺乳动物群体中，其形态和功能存在巨大差异。实用性规定，动物模型不会是对人类状况的最接近的模仿。目前，最常用的物种是老鼠、兔子、猪和反胃有蹄类动物。每一个都有不同的TMJ适应。除了猪，这些物种很可能在咀嚼过程中表现出比人类更少的下颌关节负荷。
The TMJ is unique to mammals, but among different mammalian groups its morphology and function vary enormously. Practicality dictates that animal models will not be the closest mimics of the human condition. Currently, the most used species are rats, rabbits, pigs, and ruminant ungulates. Each has distinctive TMJ adaptations. Except for pigs, it is likely that these species show less loading of the jaw joints during chewing than do humans.
