A member asked:
It is normal to be able to crack your jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: Some will say any cracking is abnormal. I believe without discomfort it is being able to slide the upper part of your jaw over a bony structure at the base of the skull. This can happen in most upon opening really wide. Point is no pain. If there is pain, not good.
