Is it safe to crack one's jaw all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Your are snapping the ligaments and tendons which support your jaw and prevent it from moving out of a comfortable range of motion. When they get lax, the joint doesn't function as well as it once did and can lead to more discomfort and reduction in jaw movement.
