You should see your dentist and let him know your symtoms. He can take impressions of your teeth and make you a night guard. You really can't fix the popping without sugery but you can prevent it from getting worse with the night guard. So try it. It can't hurt.
you probably have tmj which is a condition in which your jaw locks you should talk to your dentist or doctor about that.
I don't know, but I have the same problem except only my left jaw pops....it doesn't bother me...i have braces too, and something about when I had my first ortho. appt. and they just talked about my treatment, they said I had a double jointed jaw or something like that.

It's a condition called TMJ. The above website can explain it a little bit better than I can. Your dentist can also answer any questions that you have.
my jaw does that too=]
