TMJ locking

blocco dell'Articolazione Temporo Mandibolare
Temporomandibular Joint disorder

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome or TMJ joint disorders are medical problems related to the jaw joint. The TMJ connects the lower jaw to the skull (temporal bone) under your ear. Certain facial muscles control chewing. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, problems biting, and popping sounds when you bite.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ford Prefect : This is the closest, I would favour "TMJ disorder" in the absence of more context, as this covers a multitude of possibilities - the most likely of which is restricted depression.
