What have i done to my jaw? i can't bite down
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ problem: Most likely this reflects some damage to the lining or positioning of the temporo-mandibular joint. Before you seek help, try opening it as wide as you can, jiggling it back and forth and see if the joint jumps back into position. Either way, ENT doctor for a better analysis.
