Growing up my jaw would unhinge and pop out of place when i opened and closed my mouth due to hyper mobility. three years ago it stopped popping and will sometimes hurt for weeks at a time. could there be damage to my jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ disorder: Jaw hypermobility is classified under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ). Continued stretching of the jaw tendons during hypermobile extension can result in disk derangement or displacement, tendinitis leading to pain, functional loss or arthritic changes. Consult an ENT Dr for a full evaluation, imaging and treatment or physical therapy.
