Yep, sounds like TMJ...You need to determine whether you are clinching your teeth regularly or grinding them during sleep...often times this can be the cause~ Get a mouthgaurd for sleep...that will prevent the pressure of night-time grinding of teeth & may even help alleviate the TMJ..your dentist, if you get regular checkups will be a good person to inform that you have it, he will advise from there..take care~

jaw misalignment, also known as TMJ

I think that happens when you bump your chin hard, it makes your jaw a little messed up. It's nothing bad, but braces can help if you're young enough to get them.

it might be your jaws joints popping and snapping because when i chew my mouth does the same thing!!!!
