What Causes the Jaw to Lock?
- Disc Displacement Without Reduction: This is the most common cause. The cartilage disc inside the joint slips forward and gets stuck, physically blocking the jaw from opening or closing properly.
- Muscle Spasm: Severe spasm of the chewing muscles (trismus) can also severely limit your ability to open your mouth.
- Arthritis: Advanced arthritic changes can interfere with the smooth movement of the joint.
