Sounds like you may be having a problem with your temporar mandibular joint, which is responsible for all movements of the jaw. You may have damaged it slightly from grinding your teeth at night,a dental problem or inflammation of this joint. It only needs to be slightly misaligned and will cause clicking, pain in the teeth, face and head. Try to rest it for a few days and if it is the same a trip to the dentist may be required.

Apparently it's caused by unresolved/unspoken anger and resentment which causes the tightness in the jaw. If you can deal with the emotional stuff, it should clear up. There are various alternative therapies that can help - Quantum-Touch, EFT, Reiki... I've had the same thing myself (was bullied at school etc) - had to let go of those past resentments to get it to clear up. It definitely does NOT require having your jaw broken and re-set!!!

I have a clicking jaw, and it is sometimes very loud and people often stare when I'm eating near them. I went to the doctor once and he said the only way to fix it would be to break my jaw and reset it (!) ... I decided to stick wiht the noise.
It has also given me some cause for concern in inoportune moments...

I had the same problem! However, I found that if you are careful you can prevent the clicking, and eventually it will go away all together.
I also had problems with my jaw dislocating slightly when I was eating. PaiN!
I do not know what caused it, your guess is as good as mine.

'Alter Ego' it seems you need to alter your ego. It is most likely your conscious (day time) and unconscious (night time) bruxism (teeth grinding). While a Night Guard, boil-and-bite type or custom (dentist) made may definitely help, it is equally important for you to undergo some psychological counselling. I hope it will make all the difference.

I do think you have a TMJ problem go to your dentist or doctor and get it sorted out as it will only get worse

Do you chew gum? My daughter's improved after she stopped.
If you grind your teeth at night, you can buy a mouth guard at Walmart where the dental floss is sold.

Ahhh, my daughter had this! She was told not to open her mouth too wide for around a week and sure enough it fixed itself.
Hope that helps.

sounds like early TMJ, sometimes caused by bruxism (grinding our teeth in our sleep), talk to your dentist, a bite guard may help you.

you should go and see your dentist and see what they say that is the best thing to do because it could be a number of possible things
