Symptoms Of Temporomandibular Joint Disease

Jaws Locking

One of the most noticeable and worrying symptoms of temporomandibular joint disease is when the jaws lock. Jaw locking occurs when a person suffering from temporomandibular disease is unable to open or close their jaws at will. In some cases, the jaw will lock in an open position and the sufferer will not be able to close their mouth, and in others, the patient's jaw becomes locked in a closed position so the patient cannot open their mouth. Although very scary, jaw locking is typically temporary. Once the jaw joints loosen, the mouth may be open or closed as desired.
