Q: Jaw popping without pain
asked by: Cutwolf on October 23rd, 2006

This has been happening for a very long time - probably at least 6 or so years (which would be around 13 or 14 years old).


It doesn't hurt at all, but my jaw makes an audible (at least to me) click sometimes. Some days its worse than others (happens when i'm eating). I can do it at will (sort of push my lower jaw out a little). It doesn't take much though and happens pretty much everytime I open my mouth in an eating manner.


Like I said it doesn't hurt but its annoying and I wonder if its any sign of some underlying structual problem.


Any ideas?


I vaguely recall my dentist saying something that it has to do with my wisdom teeth coming in, but they've been in (they came in properly) and it hasn't gone away. Then again, I could have been dreaming that whole thing.

Maybe?
It sounds like you might have tmj.

I will link a website to go on.

tmj can be rather serious, so I would recommend doing some research on it, and find out if you do in-fact have the symptoms. There is plenty of treatments options for it, but I know the most common procedure is applying braces.

Do, check out that website, and keep us updated!

Good luck!! -c0rie
