TMJ Jaw Locking

Are You Experiencing Jaw Locking?

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Pittsburgh, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, including jaw locking. If you’re experiencing difficulty opening or closing your mouth due to the sensation of your jaw being “stuck,” you may be suffering from a condition known as jaw locking, a common symptom of TMJ disorders.

What is Jaw Locking?

Jaw locking occurs when the Temporomandibular Joint—the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull—malfunctions, making it difficult or impossible to open or close your mouth. This condition may result from inflammation, misalignment, or damage to the joint’s cartilage, muscles, or ligaments. It can be temporary or chronic, with the jaw becoming locked in an open or closed position.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Jaw Locking:

• A feeling that your jaw is stuck or catches in a certain position.
• Pain or discomfort in the jaw, face, or neck.
• Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw.
• Difficulty chewing or speaking.
• Limited range of jaw movement, often requiring manipulation to open or close fully.
