The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is in front of the ear where the upper jaw meets the lower. When the joint doesn't work properly, or becomes inflamed, it leads to headaches, locked jaws and other issues
Warning signs are jaw cliking
Sounds like you have TMJ, you need to see an oral surgeon. You can go to your dentist first and he may be able to give you something to put in your mouth at night to sleep called a mouth guard but if that doesn't help you will probably have to see the oral surgeon.
my husbands does this too, nothing to be worried about. Took him to the doctor first and he said it was sometimes normal... and the dentist said it was just how his jaw was made..
