TMJ
temporal mandibular joint

I think that your condition is called TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders). It affects many people, and can be a big problem for some. Look it up on the web and you'll get the
lowdown on your problem.
Goodluck!!

you may have a TMD (temporomandibular disfunction).. it may be due to stress, change of lifestyle, trauma... i'm a dentist.. me too have the same problem but now im under treatment (using repositioning orthotics) for 6 months and so far no more clicking... 20% of US population suffer this condition... have it treated by a dentist specializing TMJ...
