Possibly: For may people resolving incorrect tooth/jaw function may reduce or eliminate joint symptoms. Know that the popping probably means anatomic change in the joint that may be beyond full recovery. See an orthodontic specialist for a discussion of what orthodontic treatment can do for you. You'll be glad you did.

Unlikely: Unlikely. If you have a bite problem that you want corrected, see a TMJ specialist who can work with your orthodontist. If you have an orthodontist who is very sophisticated with TMD, he can manage both parts. Most orthodontists are not experts in TMJ problems (like a popping jaw).
