I hear a creaking sound in my left jaw whenever i open wide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint: It is the temporal mandibular joint that can get inflamed or tight from biting down too hard on food or grinding your teeth at night that places it out of alignment that may be giving you the clicking sensation .If it starts to hurt you should have that evaluated.
