If you jaw can put enough force to break a tooth other than pain what stops you from doing it?

If the tooth is broken down and weak than any force from biting will cause further breaking and cracking. The best solution is to see a dentist to restore the tooth.

Start saving. Repairing or replacing a fractured tooth may cost multiple thousands not dollars.

Not much. Diamonds can be broken, granite can be broken, both much harder than teeth. Bite down the wrong way at the wrong angle at the wrong time and you can unwittingly fracture a tooth.
