- Symptoms of TMJ disorders can include:
- Biting or chewing difficulty or discomfort
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Dull, aching pain in the face
- Earache
- Headache
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Locking of the jaw
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth

If your jaw has been locked for four days, it's important to seek medical attention. You may need to see a healthcare provider, dentist, or an ENT doctor for a thorough examination.
