[Humilious]

I've been cracking my jaw a lot lately. I did it as a child then I stopped my habit. It started up a couple of months ago. I want to stop, but I get tension in my jaws which I want to relieve by cracking. It's basically like knuckle cracking.

I don't think it's TMJ because I don't feel any pain.

It seems like no one else can do it.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem was.
Oh, and will cracking my jaw make my jaws wider?

[Harbl]

I used to be able to make my jaw click too, on the left side just under the ear. Now it clicks whenever it wants especially in colder weather.

That could mean you have an overbite.

[Humilious]

That could mean you have an overbite.

I got my overbite fixed with braces. I have retainers now. That overbite theory could be a possibility though, since the orthodontist said that he couldn't fix it completely.

[meilove]

how do u crack your jaw ???

[ihigh]

^ i wonder that too ._.
i know i can do it accidentally x]

[beana*]

damn i have the same problem too if i'm going to the dentist and their like open wide i have to crack my jaw so it can widen up :[ i don't know why this is caused or whatever but i'm on the same boat as you and i don't feel any pain like you do

I got my overbite fixed with braces. I have retainers now. That overbite theory could be a possibility though, since the orthodontist said that he couldn't fix it completely.

Ooh, well i had an overbite too (it's fixed now), (i also wear retainers now) and my orthodontist said that the jaw cracking that i still have is normal or something.

[puchaa]

my jaw makes a small pop or cracking sound when i yawn after a got up. I think it's kinda crooked? or probably overbite

[hyeminnie]

i kinda have the same thing, but mine makes this popping sound when i push my jaw to the left. it really annoys me when i'm chewing something and it won't go away.

[xrosee;]

^ -- mine makes the popping sound, too!

it started when i got braces.
friggin' orthodontist said it'll go away once the braces come off.
uhm.... my jaw's still popping T____T

[Atmosphere.]

My boyfriend has jaw popping problem and it annoys the crap out of me, cause
I hate the sound of cracking of knuckling or popping sound T________T BONES CRACKING OMG =X
He said he does it because he did it too much when he was young, and when he stops it,
it makes him irritated by it, and annoyed by it that he has to do it. But I said to get rid of habit.

It just makes your jaw bigger >__<

[PandaKiss]

OMG, I have this too.
I just can't help but pop it when I'm bored.
As a matter of fact, I'm doing it right now. = =
I was really scared about this,
but then I found out that its normal. (:

[ninyaah]

Oh, I have it too. It started with my braces.

[miss wonderland]

my friend had this problem too.
her doctor said it was because she had too much estrogen
....so overload of estrogen might be the cause for you??
i think she took pills or something

[e ; c h o .]

That happens to me on my right side of my jaw sometimes when I eat.

[tinatran_]

is this supposed to happen only once in awhile? cause this always happens when i open my mouth to talk -.-''

[ilynspiration]

ugh that used to happen to me tooo. -____-
it was so annoying when i ate and talked. well basically open my mouth. haha.
i told my doctor about it but i don't exactly remember what she said :x

[hippiehop]

I used to have this problem in high and middle school... it was annoying because it would sometimes just get STUCK like I couldn't open my mouth anymore because it would hurt but all i had to do with close my mouth and open again and it would be fine o_O it was weird. and it used to pop a lot (didn't hurt) over time it just naturally went away though... maybe I grew into it. lol.

[~koe*no*sainou~]

i always crack my jaw, it makes my headaches feel better >.< it's kinda weird...is it dangerous? O.O
