Can you tell me some complications of tmj dysfunction, if left untreated?

Open jaw lock ,: Closed jaw lock, joint pain, joint arthritis, joint noises, bone/bone crepitus, articular disk deformation/damage/ malposition, muscle pain, muscle cramping, pain in chewing, difficulty chewing, limited jaw range of motion.... The list is long. Please seek a dentist with special training in tmd /tmj issues. Seek one trained with pankey institute or dawson center and there are others.

TMD complications: See "symptoms of tmj" at http://www.Webmd.Com/oral-health/guide/temporomandibular-disorders while not common, some patients suffer from disabling locking of their jaw in either the open or closed position, and severe chronic pain.

DJD: Disk perforation and degenerative joint disease. Chronic pain and jaw dysfunction.

TMJ dysfunction: If you suffer from TMJ , you shouldn't delay a diagnosis and treatment. Moderate pain from TMJ can escalate and turn severe and chronic. TMJ may lead to more frequent headaches, muscle pain, stress and depression.
