Hi, I hope someone can help shed some light on an issue I have. This doesn’t happen frequently, but when it does, it concerns me.
Basically, every once in a while my jaw will kind of seize up. When this happens, my jaw is slightly pushed forward/back (I can’t think which way until it’s actually happening) and I will have to just force open my mouth for a few seconds then it immediately goes back to normal.
I feel sudden panic as when it does happen, I can feel my top and bottom teeth being pushed together at extreme force due to them being misaligned with my jaw being in a different position, and the extreme pressure/friction feels like my teeth will just pop out.
Any googling just comes up with lockjaw, but from what I’ve found that seems something more long lasting, as what happens with can be sorted in the few seconds.
I have TMJ due to clenching mainly, and sometimes teeth grinding.
Any insight would be amazing, thank you!
