Reducing the size of your teeth may not relieve you of your jaw locking problem. It could be related to your looked wisdom tooth . Or some problem with the jaw joint itself. So get x ray for wisdom tooth and jaw joint done and consult a Maxilo facial surgeon .
Next Steps
till you meet the dentist you can try hot trowel compress only on your jaw joints . and take some pain killer .
Health Tips
avoid taking large bites so your jaw won't open too big. eat soft food until some definit treatment is done . meet dentist as soon as possible ,
