Answer 2

Temporo mandibular joint disorder. There's not a lot you can do. If your jaw sticks try massaging it as you gently work it back and forth and get it to close. Don't open your mouth very wide, like to take a bite out of a great big sandwich, it might get stuck open. TMJ disorder is one of those things that isn't well understood and it seems that different things help different people. If you drink caffeinated drinks, coffee, tea, chocolate anything or cola you can try cutting all of it out. that helped me. If it gets bad you need to get your dentist to refer you to a TMJ clinic. Here's a pretty good site that explains the disorder.
