Why is that my jaw cracks when i move it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe nothing: Just having jaw clicking does not mean that there is anything wrong with the jaw. Clicking occurs at times due to just lax ligaments; treatment is required only if there are associated symptoms. Some of the common symptoms are jaw pain, jaw locking, jaw popping, ear pain, neck pain, headaches, ear stuffiness, and face pain. You can contact an orofacial pain dentist (find one on www.Aaop.Org).
