that's like saying "doc, i have a knee!" and expecting him to know that u have arthritis.

or saying "i have a head!" and expecting the doc to know that u have headache.

TMJ is just a joint. no we dont know if u have TMJ dislocation, or pain, or swelling, etc, if u just say TMJ. if really wanna use layman term, can just say ur jaw clicks when u open and close mouth, then we can understand u have TMD.

anyway, nothing serious TS. if u notice, the click only happens if u open ur jaw too wide. and if u open ur jaw a bit deviated to the left or right (like how a camel chew food), the click reduces or disappear. dont let it click too much if possible, and it will be reduced as time goes by.

i used to have TMD too, so bad that one day the ligament just locks and i cant even open my mouth. it gets worse when u keep inducing the clicking urself (e.g. play around with ur jaw, open n close even when not eating), the ligament swells up, causing the pain to become worse and the click also.

not cured, but relieved to a certain degree. now it only clicks if i yawn or when i open my mouth really wide. otherwise, it's not bothering me at all.

permanent cure is reconstructive surgery. but im not keen on that. u might want to consult an orthodontist for that.
