TMJ: Sounds like tmj. There are no recognised specialists. Your best bet is to call the local dental society for a dentist with special training for this.

Dentist: See a general dentist or prosthodontist. You have a right anterior disc displacement. Well designed splint therapy will likely improve your situation. Seeing someone who has trained at the pankey institute would be my admittedly biased recommendation.

Jaw Joint problem: Significant TMJ problem. See TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
