It's safe: No permanent harm will come to you if you have to open your mouth.

It is safe: The imaging is done twice, when your jaw is open and when your jaw is close to explore position of the articular disc. Unless your range of motion is limited the test is done only when your jaw is closed. See orofacial pain specialist for more information and treatment if needed.
