My jaw clicks in various places on both sides when I open my mouth wide. This only happens when my jaw is in a natural position, and does not happen when I open and close my jaw while the lower part of my jaw is pushed far forward.
This has happened for years, and is occasionally sore (like today after being at the dentist). My doctor once told me that I have mild arthritis in my jaw, but I dismissed/ignored this the problem wasn't that bad. Another problem is my jaw can sometimes lock and I am unable to open it wide.
I'd appreciate any help/advice on what I can do.
