Jaw problem

Ok here is my problem. Sometimes when I eat my jaw will sure of pop. Like if I'm trying to chew hard or just sometimes anytime my jaw will pop and hurt a little bit. I don't really know why it does this and I'm not sure if its normal or if there something wrong with my jaw. Normally it only happened every couple of months so I didn't worry but lately its been happening every time I chew hard or sometimes to much can anyone tell me if this is normal or of its happened to them or what.

You should see a doctor to make sure this won't hurt you later on in life.

my jaw does the same thing. if i could remember how to explain to u what was wrong with it i would but i cant remember exactly what my orthodontist said. its got something to do with some kind of disc slipping in your jaw. it could be from grinding your teeth(if you do that), or from biting down really hard. like any kind of accidents or anything that caused you to be startled or anything and bite down really hard could cause it, and there were some other reasons. if it hurts really bad or anything u should talk to your dentist or just your regular doctor. mine started sometime last year just at a certain time of day and only occasionally. but now it does it everytime i open my mouth. and i've talked to my orthodontist about it(which is who told me all the info i've given you). and it's not anything serious or anything or at least mine isn't. i know one cure for it is braces. i had to have braces anyway and the rubber bands they sometimes make you wear cure it. but u should still check with someone about your's cuz your problem might not be the same as mine. hope i ed.
