TMJ Tempero Mandibular Joint Syndrome, if I'm not mistaken. From what I've learned it is a condition of the lower jaw caused by a malocclusion with the upper jaw. Sometimes caused by grinding of teeth at night. I have this conditon and it can be VERY painful. It doesn't bother me much anymore but at one tme I could not chew food or fully open or close my mouth without great pain. Folks with this should avoid chewing gum or other hard food and may need to wear something to prevent thier teeth grinding at night.
