Hi Vera,

If your jaw constantly pops, you may have TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. You can read all about it here: https://www.empowher.com/condition/tmj-disorder/definition

The exact cause of TMD syndrome is often unclear. Possible causes include:

  • Excess tension in the jaw muscles
  • Faulty alignment between the upper and lower teeth and jaws
  • Disturbed movement of the jaw joint
  • Displacement or abnormal position of the jaw joint or cartilage disc inside the jaw joint
  • Arthritis or similar inflammatory process in the joint
  • Excess or limited motion of the joint
  • Injury of the jaw or face

Please let me know if that helps-- you may also want to visit your doctor id the popping is constant.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
