Tetanus infection can produce lock-jaw but that is very unusual today.
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a problem affecting the 'chewing' muscles and the joints where the lower jaw meets the skull. Some causes are: grinding your teeth during sleep, wear and tear caused by osteoarthritis, injury to the joint, stress, uneven bite, specific diseases such as gout or fibromyalgia.

∙ 8y agoMany people grind their teeth at night. This makes the jaw muscles sore and tight. The muscles can even spasm. Visit your dentist. He can fit you with a mouth guard to wear at night. Note: Teeth grinding can change your bite and wear down your teeth.

Hi there, I own an American Staffordshire Terrier, very powerful dog including the jaw. My best friend owns a boxer and we had this exact discussion between ourselves about 2 years ago. We exhausted every avenue of "lock-jaw". Read every thing we could find about lock jaw and asked numerous Vets. They all had the same answer......No dog on this earth has "lock-jaw". The only case of a dog having lock-jaw was a dog with tetanus lock-jaw, it is very rare that a dog gets this type of disease , that is the only type of lock-jaw a dog may get. It's a medical condition , nothing to do with the actual "lock-jaw" I hope this answered your question...there is no such thing as a dog with "lock-jaw". Its a myth.
