When your jaw locks, it’s not just uncomfortable; it can feel claustrophobic and scary.😳

Whether it gets stuck open or closed, that “trapped” sensation is a sign the joint isn’t moving the way it should, and I have been through this myself.

If this has happened to you, you’re not alone. Thank you @kayla.lewis (on TikTok) for sharing your lock jaw experience.
