TMJ disk out: TMJ disk out of position. No treatment indicated if otherwise no problems. If you have locking or limited movement, "ear" pain, headaches, morning jaw stiffness/soreness, difficulty chewing, bruxism, previous jaw injuries other other jaw conditions, is more serious. Then see a TMJ specialist.
