Why Does My Jaw Keep “cracking”?
Question by Divan: Why does my jaw keep “cracking”?
I have braces which I got 2 years ago and my jaw keeps popping or cracking whenever I move my jaw to the left or sometimes when I open my mouth or chew my food. Why is this happening? It started even before I got braces (which is how and why I got braces in the first place). The dentists said that I should’ve got surgery after removing the braces, but my mom and me decided not to. Why is this happening and what should I do about it? I’m scared something really bad happens and I’m sick of my jaw making “popping” sounds all the time.
