TMJ dislocation leads to jaw joint displacement, causing difficulty in mouth movement and potential pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Factors like trauma or dental procedures can trigger this condition, which may also result in clicking sensations and headaches. Treatment varies based on severity; mild cases often require manual realignment by a healthcare professional, while more severe or recurrent dislocations may necessitate additional interventions. Understanding the causes and treatment options is crucial for effective management of this condition.
