Advanced TMJ: The "sticking" and "locking' means that your TMJ disk is very much out of position. Advanced problem. See TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
