The patient began experiencing popping sounds in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) over 5 years ago. This was the first sign he detected. Following this, he experienced bilateral pain and episodes of a locked jaw. He decided to seek help from the rheumatology department of a hospital, where the colleague quickly realized he might be facing a case of temporomandibular dysfunction and referred him to the Portuguese Institute of the Face.
The patient reports having to turn his head to open his mouth.
