Are you able to open and close your mouth after the jaw “cracks”? Is the “cracking” happening spontaneously when you wake up or after you move? If you are concerned about a jaw dislocation, you should be seen by a doctor at the time you are having the symptoms to see if it is dislocating since this would need to be treated. See your doctor for an evaluation. Good luck!
