Common signs and symptoms associated with TMJ disorders include jaw pain or tenderness, aching pain in and around the ear, chewing problems, facial pain, TMJ locking, difficulty with mouth opening or closing, headache and an uneven bite.
While this one cause may be famous it is not the most common by a longshot. Many people who develop lockjaw actually have oral or mandible (jaw) related illnesses and problems that result in the disorder. Inflammation of the soft tissue in the mouth is one of the leading causes of lockjaw. Many things can cause the soft tissue in the mouth to be inflamed such as over mastication (too much chewing or use of the mouth) or disorders of the joints in the jaw such as Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMJD).
