i've had a weird problem
recently i've noticed that my jaw bone sticks out more on the left side, so i literally tried to squish it in....it was pretty uncomfortable so i started moving my jaw back and forth then it started popping....could i have developed this disorder called TMJ? anyone knows why my jaw bone would stick out more on one side in the first place? plzz answer it, this has been bothering me so much =(
 
My sister has TMJ and her mouth can literally lock open (some people's can lock shut) and she can't swallow. It is pointless for her to go to our local ER for it because the only one that knows how to shut it is our old orthodontist (retired). Usually, when we call him, he understands and has us meet him at the Wal-Mart parking lot for him to shut it. If yours ever does lock open, please do not have someone inexperienced try to shut it as you could bite off their fingers.
Honestly, I would consult your dentist and explain the issue. He or she may have you come in or send you on a referral to someone more experienced.
HTH
 
idk. when ever i open and close my mouth my jaw pops and sometimes it really hurts!! this is a recent problem for me. my friends mom had her jaw start popping when she would open her mouth and close it when she was talking and one day it popped out.
