A member asked:

If the tmj disc is completly anteriourly dispaced without reduction, could the ligaments brake due to suck pressure?

No: I have never heard of ligament breaking due to suck pressure. The ligaments in tmj rarely fail. Not a traumatic as a knee injury. Worn more likely.

No, but: No, but increased risk of disk perforation and degenerative joint disease.
