See your orthodontis: Many people experience the cracking sound from their teeth or temporomandibular joint (TMJ). See your orthodontist for evaluation and more information.

Normal?: No. Please see the General Dentist or specialist Orthodontist that is treating you to determine the cause of the cracking sound.
