if u place ur fingers below ur earlobe and a little forward towards where ur facing u can feel the things that i am talkin about
actually its right below ur sideburn.
theres this bone or w/e i feel ( its flat ) and i can move it back and forth. That bone on the right is much bigger than the left
alsobmy right side jaw muscle seems to be bigger than the left
it is very uncomfortable, anyone have a clue wut this is? if so how long will it stay? should i see a dentist or doctor or chiropractor? or is it only temporary?

Mine would crack and cause pain. It did go away in time. The alignment is off. You can wait it out or see a Dr. Maybe a chiropractor, that would be cheaper.

I think you're talking about your mandible, your lower jaw bone?
A dentist is a good place to start. Could be an orthodontic issue. Lots of different orthodontic problems occur with the jaw placement.

I have the same problem . I found out when my dentist was checking things out to see what need to be done before I get braces. He said I have TMJ and I'd have to have surgery , I still haven't gotten the surgery . i'm afraid to.

I'm thinking you have a swollen parotid gland. Your doctor might be a better choice for this, although your dentist may treat you as well.

you may have a TMJ problem. if so, you probably get headaches a lot, unevenly open your mouth. you have inflammation of one of the muscles of mastication because of the joint problem. See a dentist and he/she can refer you to a TMJ specialist.
