Most people do have dislocation of their jaw joints by some point in their life.  It is more a question if it is a slow progressive process or an acute painful one.  In either case, it is best to treat the condition once it is detected painful or not.  The MRI will confirm the joint is dislocated.  However, insurance companies are increasingly not wanting to pay for the MRI.  The diagnosis can be made without an MRI.  Most radiologists and radiology techs don't do a good job of taking or reading these MRI anyhow.  You should find a TMJ specialist who will help you with a special appliance called orthotics.  This can allow the disk to heal possibly also with the aid of prolotherapy injections.  After initial therapy there may be a phase II in many cases to make your bite permanent to your recaptured position.Don't do surgery and seek out someonen who is really good, because if done wrong, as it usually is, it can compound your problems and lead to debilitating problems such as headaches, neck aches, back pain, poor sleep.   LD Singer DMDAssistaant Clinical Professor, GWUDirector TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centers of the Greater Washington Area
