Dislocation of jaw - what does this mean

Dislocation of the jaw occurs when the temporomandibular joint (tmj) connecting the lower jaw to the skull is forced out of alignment. this can be caused by trauma to the jaw, such as a blow to the face, or by excessive stretching of the joint, such as caused by yawning or opening the mouth too wide.

What happens during the disease - dislocation of jaw

Dislocation of the jaw is caused by a sudden and strong force to the jaw, such as a blow, fall, or seizure. this force causes the jaw to move out of its normal position, resulting in the joint becoming misaligned and the jaw muscles becoming overstretched. this can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty with eating and speaking.
