HelloThanks 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
