The temporomandibular joint -- the TMJ - is the joint between the lower jawbone - the mandible - and the temporal bone of the skull. The TMJ is responsible for jaw movement and is the most used joint in the body. The TMJ is essentially the articulation between the condyle of the mandible and the mandibular fossa - a socket in the temporal bone. The unique feature of the TMJ is the articular disc - a flexible and elastic cartilage that serves as a cushion between the two bone surfaces. The disc lacks nerve endings and blood vessels in its center and therefore is insensitive to pain. Anteriorly it attaches to lateral pterygoid muscle - a muscle of chewing. Posteriorly it continues as retrodiscal tissue fully supplied with blood vessels and nerves.
The mandible is the only bone that moves when the mouth opens. The first 20 mm opening involves only a rotational movement of the condyle within the socket. For the mouth to open wider, the condyle and the disc have to move out of the socket, forward and down the articular eminence, a convex bone surface located anteriorly to the socket . This movement is called translation.
The most common disorder of the TMJ is disc displacement, and in most of the cases, the disc is dislocated anteriorly. As the disc moves forward, the retrodiscal tissue is pulled in between the two bones. This can be very painful as this tissue is fully vascular and innervated, unlike the disc. The movements made by chewing or even talking cause a chronic bruise to the tissue resulting in inflammation and pain.
The forward dislocated disc is an obstacle for the condyle movement when the mouth is opening. In order to fully open the jaw, the condyle has to jump over the back end of the disc and onto its center. This produces a clicking or popping sound. Upon closing, the condyle slides back out of the disc hence another "click" or "pop". This condition is called disc displacement with reduction .
In later stage of disc dislocation, the condyle stays behind the disc all the time, unable to get back onto the disc, the clicking sound disappeared but mouth opening is limited. This is usually the most symptomatic stage - the jaw is said to be "locked" as it is unable to open wide. At this stage the condition is called disc displacement without reduction
Fortunately, in majority of the cases, the condition resolves by itself after some time. This is thanks to a process called natural adaptation of the retrodiscal tissue, which after a while becomes scar tissue and can functionally replace the disc. In fact, it becomes so similar to the disc that it is called a pseudodisc.

this video is misleading stating that the condition will fix itself. while it is true that the clicking/popping may stop and pain may temporarily be relieved, what is actually happening is that the "psuedodisc" begins to break down and may eventually tear, leading to the two bones rubbing against each other creating a condition called crepitus and ultimately arthritis of the joint. All the while, the bone of the condylar head is remodeling and may make treatment extremely difficult. Please, seek treatment from a QUALIFIED TMJ specialist. Your jaw lock is a warning sign you do not want to ignore. If you are really interested in learning more about how the TMJ works and treating TMJ pain I urge you to read the book "Break Away" be Dr. Fred Abeles

@@Katerina-kqkq it's really weird. I don't think it snapped back in place, cause I still hear it crack whenever I open it "too much". But I definitely think it moved. And it doesn't hurt at all. It's like before I would have 50% of range of motion and then it would crack AND hurt. Now it's like 90% is restored and then it makes a noise, but doesn't hurt. I guess I somehow made it move JUST ENOUGH to not irritate the nerve endings and move somewhat freely.

I was diagnosed with disc displacement with reduction 9 months ago from an MRI. Mine was caused by a prolonged dental procedure. it was an avoidable incident which makes me even more angry. The pain is a nightmare, but I've learned in time what makes it worse as to avoid extreme pain... eating certain foods, singing, laughing, excessive talking, crying, etc... Headaches, and jaw pain are the most problematic symptoms. I can tell you I've tried physical therapy, which helped somewhat, but the symptoms are still there. Now I'm seeing a specialist that made a mouth guard for me. That has helped especially when the headaches come on. I still deal with pain though. I can count on one hand the amount of days I have been almost pain-free since this has happened over a year ago. It's hard for people who haven't experienced this to understand the adjustments that have to be made because of this. Going out to eat, talking on the phone, visiting with friends and family are all dreaded because of the pain that comes with those experiences. Things a lot of people take for granted myself included up until the injury. This video gave me hope until I started reading the comments and saw that a lot of people still suffer after years, sometimes decades. Has anyone had improvement in time? I would love to hear a success story. My will to live, and well being has drastically tanked over the past year. I've been to 2 different dentists, 2 oral surgeons, a physical therapist, massage therapist, and a specialist since this happened. My hope is that one day there will be a solution. I'm sorry for all who suffer from this as well. I cannot believe how many people deal with this...some for most of their lives. I cannot imagine.

This is EXACTLY what i am going through! My jaw was dislocated bilaterally at the dentist and it's nearly 3 years later and i'm in so much pain. I have an occclusal splint that i pretty much wear all day but it's embarrassing as i cant talk with it in. I dread having to take it out, i dread going out with friends and family because of the pain. I've had so many massages its not funny. Physical therapy makes it worse. I feel like my left jaw just needs to be pulled over to the right for it to be back to how it was before the injury. I too am here because i'd love to know if it will cure itself and i understand exactly what you are going through. How is it now, 3 years on?

@@nikolafingarov9022 Oh no, I'm sorry as well that you are experiencing this. I can give a bit of hope. It's been 4 years now, and I have improved a bit. I've learned that certain activities will aggravate it, like singing, eating tough foods like twizzlers, yelling, and talking for long periods of time, so I try to avoid those as much as I can. It just is so crazy, we take advantage of the fact that we can talk, or yell, or eat our whole lives until something like this happens. I did start taking a couple things for the pain that have also seemed to help. One is a prescription called Paxil. It's for anxiety, and it can also be used for chronic pain. The other thing I take is over the counter. It's called Kratom. You can buy it online, or at smoke shops. I miss my life before the injury, but there is a little hope. Again, I am terribly sorry you are experiencing this also. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

It took me a 1.5 years to finally recover from my tmj pain, partly because I didn't have a good strategy for tackling it. I probably would've overcame it sooner, knowing what I know now. The conservative treatment works best, but it takes times. You have to be patient. Here are my tips: 1. Find a dentist who is knowledgeable about tmj 2. Get a X-ray to determine whether it's an issue with your jaw muscles or disc. It's very easy to get the two confused, since they're close together. For a very long, I thought I had an issue with my disc. It turns out that I had injured one of my jaw ligaments located in the mandible area. The symptoms are similar to tmj. Please do your research on the jaw muscles, tendons, and ligaments to better understand the issue. Once you're better educated on the root cause, you can finally start tackling the problem. 3. As I said previously, take the initiative to do your research. There are plenty of medical articles on this issue. Unfortunately, there aren't too many dentist who are well trained on this issue. Most won't be able to give you all the answers. 4. Vitamin supplements such as magnesium, omega 3 , and other natural supplements that support joints, muscles, and brain are your friend 5. Anti-inflammatory medication and muscle relaxers are a back up. Your go to should be Vitamin supplements. There are plenty of articles on this. 6. Change your diet. Stay away from snacks and food that are hard to chew. It will upset your jaw muscles. Then, it will make the healing process much more difficult. 7. Stay positive. Things will get better. There were times in which I felt depressed and became antisocial. The pain can be so bad that it can impair decision making. The pain effected my sleep for a long time. Find ways to keep your mind distracted. For me, I watched a lot of shows and movies. 8. Work with your dentist and physical therapist to make sure that your jaw is aligned. I had to get a jaw adjustment. 9. Rest your jaw as much as you can. 10. Tens unit helps relaxes your jaw muscle. After following these steps, I gradually noticed the improvement, and I was back to my old self. You have to be patient and endure the pain. Believe me, I've been there. Just stay positive and you'll get through this. Good luck.

I had this condition 5 years ago, with typical symptoms - pain, clicking and wasnt able to open my mouth more than 30 mm. Doctors was useless, 6-9 months only soft food. Finally, condiotion slowly start to improve and after additional 9 months I was able to open 48 mm.Never made MRI and never try mouth gaurd, jaw correction or teeths correction. Just suffered. Now, after 5 years no pain at all, I am able to open my mouth 51 mm without pain and efforts. Even, clicklling disappered, or it is present very mild, but in both sides, bearly noticeable. I am able to eat everything without restrictions and pain: steaks and other foods, but may be should be more carefuul. No grinding .Do not recomend mouth-oppening exercises , or may be very light. Do not want even to remember this period, and decided to come here again just to instill courage in all people with TMJ. No face deformation now, no saggy cheeks. But when was eating anly soft foods my face was of course with some deformation - I think it was because of lack of face muscles use. I hope pseudo disc formed, but no MRI confirmation or doctors conformation ever made, and do not intend to do that. My advice: 1) suffering of 1 year you should just to endure 2) aditional 6-9 months you should be carefull 3) after that, if have no pain, live as never had this problem.

Wow, that explains why my tmj pain came and went over the course of about a year. Just like the video, it started out as a clicking, then my jaw started locking up some mornings until I massaged my jaw muscles. I started using night guards to help with clenching/grinding. Eventually the clicking and locking went away, but the left side of my jaw was just always sore, like 24/7. Massage and ice would help temporarily, but never for more than an hour or two. Eventually the pain started subsiding and eventually disappeared. My jaw still clicks from time to time, but I'm guessing this video described what happened. Who knew?! The body is amazing.

For everybody with disc displacement without reduction: Try pulling your lower jaw on the affected side, so the disc gets more space, and then opening your mouth carefully. For me it helped several times, when my jaw was locked for hours. And then go to the doctor and get a bite splint. ✌️

I developed TMJ since high school, about 10 years ago. I’ve tried many things to treat it. An OMS told me to just do stretching exercises. An orthodontist i worked with for years gave me Invisalign and braces to create the most optimal bite and to help increase range of motion. This actually helped reduce the #of clicks and the sharpness of the clicks too, but I still get locked sometimes and eating chewy things is hard. Recently I went to a chiropractor who told me the reason I have TMJ is from poor neck posture and EXTREMELY tight trapezius muscles (which I believe- it’s all connected!) The annoying thing about TMJ is, all these specialists are right but there’s just no single cure for it, and no one wants to claim it under their field. If anyone has had any other success i would love to hear because this is probably going to be a lifelong struggle.

This drives me crazy and I lose my appetite as the result. Sometimes the snapping sound turns into a crunching, ripping sounds that feels like some kind of tearing or rupture, and that's when it starts hurting. It goes away overnight, but occurs again randomly. I only experience this on the left jaw; the right jaw pops rarely ever. The popping in the left is almost constant and might be a nuisance, so I avoid eating around people.

And there is pretty much no fix for it. Heat helps a bit. Exercises/massages help a bit sometimes but usually make it worse. But honestly it's getting worse every year for me.

It is believed that it does increase your chance of developing arthritis later on, but it does not mean that it always leads to arthritis. I dont have the numbers. What you can do is to be gentle with it, arthritis is mostly caused by constant mechanical overload on the joint.

Thanks for the answer ! Will you explain further the logic behind this belief ? If new disk (pseudo disk) is ready,that`s mean that no bone-to bone contact (as in the case of original disk),so what causes arthritis ? Do you mean strong mechanical load as bruxisim,or even hard steak,for example? I am from Bulgaria, and doctors here doesn`t use MRI to diagnose if the condition is TMJ Anterior disk displacement without reduction. I will discribe my case,please tell me if it is possible to be TMJ Anterior disk displacement without reduction or something other? First of all, now both condyles DOES NOT go further across /forward/ the articular eminence,but stop just below,as I can see from my X-rays. I am 44-years old male, my heigt is 187 sm. Here are the story : Before 6 months I start suddenly to have a very clear reciprocal clicking on the left TMJ.I visited the dental surgery clinic and the doctor in duty told me I get anterior disk displacement with reduction (after manual examination only) Two months later clicking stoped,but my mouth oppening now is 2 fingers.If I try wider,it start hurting. No deviation of the jaw, the insicors meet well in the center.It`s look like as anterior disk displacement without reduction now,but it is strange that no deviation,even to the affected left side, and very hard end feel,pressure provide no additional opppening,at all.Moreover after clicking stopped,my mouth oppening was normal (3 fingers,but hurting very bad,thats` why I stopped wide oppening,just to heal...Now oppening is 2 fingers,and no more). Local oral surgeons think that it is jaw subluxation,but this contradict two monts of reciprocal clicking and initial diagnosis . My face muscles look like a bit swolen,even after 6 months,on the both sides of the face. I could send you my X-rays images and agree to publish and comment here,if you want,or on your web site Best Reagrds, Svetlomir Ivanov

I cant do anything about your diagnosis, sorry. The association between disc displacement and arthritis is an observed one, not a logic. Once the pseudodisc is formed, the damage would be minimum. The mechanical overload would be different for different people, you would feel it if you force it, i would minimize the load as much as i can. Good luck!

I’ve had this for about 26 years. I only have it on my left jaw. The first 5 years were tough psychologically. Mentioned it to doctors but none of them knew what I was talking about because it was considered a dental problem. In the beginning the pain was sporadic but eventually got better. Eventually I learned to live with it. Now it just pops so I can open my jaw fully when I feel like it. Weird thing is a few years back, when I last got super high off of brownies I could feel my left jaw/ face like if I injured it but with no real pain. Hard to describe. It’s like my mind has been blocking that sensation all along but I somehow unlocked it with weed. Well that’s my story.

Great video I understand that the pseudo disc can replace the original and get rid of the pain. However, in regards to the jaw locking and restricted movement , how does the Pseudo disc help in this case? From what I can see, the original disc still remains in it's displaced position and will continue to cause difficulties in opening the jaw and allowing proper movement. Is that correct? I have disc displacement with reduction. My jaw is tight with restricted movement and I'm sure it's effecting my speech. Getting rid of the pain is great but without getting proper movement back it is still not a optimistic feeling. Please can someone explain/ Thanks.

Yesterday morning I woke up with my jaw locked, I'm aware that my articular disk is out of place, and it won't pop back into place, as it did before. I experience pain only when I try to force my jaw to open wider or when I bite on hard things. What can I do to resolve my issue? There are not TMJ dentists in my town and I'm becoming pretty hopeless... Any suggestion from you will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

Dutery You can see any dentist. The main concern is to be properly diagnosed. If it's TMJ there is nothing to panic about, it's not a serious condition, with good management it will go away. But only your doctor can advice you with treatments, we can only to understand the condition.

Um I've had this for about 4 years, not the locking, just the discomfort and clicking, which is the most uncomfortable part. All non-surgical methods have failed, and I will have surgery if necessary it's just that it's most common in 20-40 and I'm only 15. Any advice?

+Daniella Araujo If your teeth are mis-aligned you may want to consider getting braces. Misalignment of teeth may cause TMJ problems, also check if you grind your teeth at night and address that. I would avoid surgery as much as possible, it may do more harm than good.

I'm 14 I've had this for about a year now so I got it when I was 13. At first it only started with the clicking and occasionally the jaw would lock but it would go back to normal after a few minutes. A few months ago it started locking more frequently and it could take a few hours until it stopped but it never lasted long. About two months ago my jaw locked completly and wasn't able to open more than 25mm. It's still the same :'(((. I'm seeing a specialist soon so hope it will get better. It's extremely annoying when yawning and it hurts a lot if I have chewed on something for too long :( This video was really helpful btw. It helped understand some things about TMJ so thanks a lot.

@@hilariousfemale8595 Hi, my jaw right now is healed. After seeing the specialist, he gave me jaw exercises to do twice/trice a day and my jaw got better each month. I think I went there for almost a year until I could fully open it. I still have some problems when chewing something for too long and my jaw starts to hurt if I open my mouth for a long time. The specialist said there was nothing he could do about it sadly. I think you should go see a dentist so that they can examine your problem. If you have the same problem as me, it's going to be easy to fix so don't worry too much :) Also, try not to eat chewy foods and don't try to strain your jaw so that it gets worse. Hope it gets better for you :)

@@hiddendagger7 Yes! Although, the specialist that treated me said that this is an issue that could easily come back and that you’re not safe from it forever. I still feel a little uncomfortable around my jaw sometimes when I chew stuff for a long time. But this isn’t really a problem as long as I avoid extremely chewy foods and overworking my jaw. Chewing gum for example, is something that I have completely stopped consuming, but I still eat gummies and such so it’s not that horrible, just gotta be a little mindful.

I have the same problem here, but I can’t get jaw checked yet now. Because in a few weeks I’m moving to Texas for my dads job. Plus I think I had this jaw click for 2-3 years now, and I didn’t tell my parents about it because we were Already dealing with something else with me. Like iron in my blood, learning disabilities, etc. and if I told my parents, they would probably get into a lot of stress and I don’t want that to happen. But after 2-3 years I feeling ok now, my jaw doesn’t hurt that bad, plus I am not even scared about my jaw clicking 😆. So I am totally fine, but after 2-3 years it’s still clicking. I’m not bothered by it, I just need to get this fix soon as possible. Probably when I arrive in Texas.

My dentist popped my jaw out of joint twice while trying to take out a tooth. Since then I have had agonizing pain in my jaw that kept getting worse of a period of a couple of weeks instead of better. It hurts all the time now, but, mostly after eating or talking for more than a couple of minutes. The milder side of the pain stays just in that joint, but, sometimes radiates into my ear and feels like someone is sticking me with an ice pick. I keep a mild ear ache all day long and it is even affecting my hearing. I find myself asking people to repeat what they are saying. Also, the pain can move up my face to the outside corner of my eye, and now even goes down behind my ear and part of my neck. Who do I need to go to for treatment? I have been in pure hell for almost 2 months and its not getting better.
