You should see an oral surgeon and have it evaluated. There would hopefully be a treatment to prevent that from happening. Good luck to you!

You describe right-sided temporal-mandibular joint dislocations, which need to be addressed by an oral surgeon. A nocturnal splint may be an approach, but surgery may ultimately may be the answer. Do not delay as this will worsen in the absence of intervention.
