Hello , hope you are taking your medicines prescribed regularly and according to instructions , along with the exercises they’ve asked you to do, if you do not find relief with I’d recommend you to go to a maxillofacial surgeon (they are also dentists) but they’ve specialised in intricate details of the mouth and face.
Take care

For TMJ disorder, the right specialist is an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon or a dentist who specializes in TMJ disorders. They are best trained to evaluate jaw joint issues, bite problems, and provide treatments like splints, physiotherapy.
Meanwhile, avoid hard foods, excessive chewing, and try jaw relaxation exercises. You can consult me if you need guidance on initial management.

Consult a Maxillofacial Surgeon:, this should be your priority. They will evaluate if you need medical management, specialized splints, or, in rare cases, a minor procedure.
Avoid Hard Foods: Until you see a specialist, stick to a soft diet (soups, khichdi, mashed foods). Avoid chewing gum or eating hard fruits like apples, which put immense strain on the TMJ.
Warm Compresses: Apply a warm, moist towel to the side of your jaw for 10 minutes, twice a day. This helps relax the muscles and reduce local inflammation.
Jaw Rest: Try to avoid 'wide yawning' or shouting. Resting the jaw is a critical part of the healing process.
