Jaw problem: considering your age I am wondering if you are currently in braces or using any orthodontic appliances? A jaw popping could be associated with your TMJ. You should definitely talk to your dentist about it and if under ortho treatment, with your orthodontist

TMJ/TMD: The most common musculoskeletal disorder causing orofacial pain is a temporomandibular disorder. Noises from the TMJs are a symptom of dysfunction of these joints. See an orofacial pain practitioner for diagnosis and treatment if needed.
