Could be : It may or may not be directly related. Most of TMJ problems are as a result of increased stress that may lead to clenching or grinding of your teeth that then cause TMJ problems.

No obvious relation: To TMJ issues with that list. Tmj issues are widely acknowledged to be related to malocclusion/ bite. Bite problems affect muscles, muscles affect the joint, & discomfort is predominately muscle driven in many cases. Treatment involves a comp exam, splint therapy & occlusion analysis to determine treatment path. Consider dentist trained with the pankey institute or peter dawson group for consult.

Symptom overlap: I'd have to what your TMJ symptoms were. It is possible that you have TMJ with secondary neck spasm that is being misdiagnosed by a PCP as "dystonia". Complcated situation. I'd recommend a TMJ-orofacial pain specialist evaluation.
