I had tmj cracking sound for long time ( 6 months) ... today while chewing apple i heard very strong crack and now sound gone when open mouth why?

Consultation: You do have a TMJ problem situation, and they do not go away by themselves. Find a local Dentist that treats TMJ and does not use hard splints. It is even better if they use Osteopathic techniques.
