Hello
Thanks for your query You have been getting dislocation of Temporomandibular joint repeatedly ( lock jaw ) This is a ball and socket joint like a shoulder joint and gets flattened in old age resulting in getting it dislocated easily.The only treatment for this is surgery.Please consult some dental surgeon who will solve the problem
