For about two years now my jaw has popped/clicked every time I open my mouth. Coincidently, that is when I got my braces were put on. I never experience any pain (up untill the last 3 days, but my throat is swollen my the jaw area from god knows what, and i'm pretty sure that's the main reason). My mother tells me not to worry, that my braces moved my jaw around, I had an over bite which is much better now, and I should be getting my braces off this summer. I don't have any of the other symptoms, and my mothers friend said her jaw popped for years when she was younger and one day it just stopped. My mother's other theory is that i'm still growing, so bones and such are adjusting. Could any of this be the case? Am I just a worry wart?
