See ICCMO doctor: You have a loaded TM joint with displaced disc. You will need arthrocentesis flushing of the joint, followed by jaw manipulation to reduce disc and insertion of a neuromuscular orthotic. See a ICCMO ( international college of craniomandibular orthopedics) trained dentist for treatment.
