See dentist: You have a problem with the function of your jaw. The best thing to do is see a dentist, or prostodontist who is well trained in TMJ for evaluation and treatment. In the meantime avoid opening your mouth wide when yawning, eating or yelling.

Joint dysfunction: It is related to the disc between your jaw and your head not moving completely with the jaw when it opens. You should see your dentist to either treat you or refer you to someone who treats tm disorders.
