A member asked:
Hi doctors, my chin/jaw bone keeps popping out of place. what is the cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ dysfunction: Most likely this is a temperomandibular joint disorder and the feeling or popping out of place is often related to dysfunction of the disc within the tm joint. See a dentist who works with TMJ dysfunction, or discuss options with your primary.
