My jaw makes loud popping noises when i either yawn, or open my mouth wide. I haven't had professional diagnosis yet, but I'm pretty sure it's TMJ. I've had this problem for 5+ years now. It doesn't hurt or anything. I think the cause is from sleeping on my face or grinding my teeth when i sleep. I don't think i grind my teeth but who knows!
I've heard of some people getting surgery for this matter. I don't want to go that route because it doesn't bother me too much.
Are there other ways to fix a minor case of TMJ?
