Normal resultWhy can pain continue when tests look normal?
A normal result is an important reference point. It may reduce concern for some structural problems, while remaining symptoms may still vary with movement, muscle tension, posture, bite contact, or daily use.

Previous testDoes this mean my previous test was wrong?
No. Keep the result as a reference. The next step is to separate what that test can explain from symptoms that change with function or use.

ENT normalMy ENT exam was normal, but ear pain or pressure remains (귀가 아픈데 이비인후과에서는 정상이라고 해요). What should I check?
Ear safety comes first. If major ENT findings were not found, note whether discomfort changes with jaw movement, chewing, clenching, neck posture, or muscle tension.

Dental normalMy dental exam was normal, but tooth-like or jaw pain continues (치아와 잇몸이 아픈데 치과에서는 정상이라고 해요). What can be organized?
Do not ignore dental findings. If clear tooth or gum causes were not found, record chewing conditions, jaw movement, muscle tenderness, clenching, and whether pain shifts by time of day.

CT or CBCTIf CT or CBCT looks normal, why can jaw pain (턱이 아파요) continue?
CT and CBCT help with structural information. Repeated pain may still need opening range, joint sound, chewing-muscle tenderness, bite records, and use-pattern review.
