A member asked:
So for about 2 years, my jaw locks and i can't open it without having to unhook it out of place. help?

Dental visit: Avoid opening wide as you are sliding off the cartilage pad which allows the jaw to function. Visit a TMJ specialist for possible fabrication of a bite splint to recapture the disks and resolve or lessen your experiences with this disorder.
