The symptoms can go away overtime; ranging from weeks to years. However, TMD can involve more serious and chronic problems affecting the jaw’s muscles and ligaments; this can lead to chronic jaw pain due to the misalignment. TMD can lead to permanent joint damage; bone-on-bone contact or abnormal movement of the joint can cause abnormal wear to the bones and surrounding structures can be damaged or even pinched in the irregular joint. Therefore, proper diagnosis is essential when problems like jaw clicking arise, from this, appropriate treatment for your situation can be determined.
