Everytime I open my mouth, my jaw clicks. I can feel the side of my jaws popping out of location too. Whats the cause of this? and how can I get it fixed?

it doesnt hurt at all. i dont get head aches or migranes or anything. i used to pop ecstasy a lot tho.. i have a feeling thats where i might got it from...

My guess is that it's from your TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint)... you should ideally see an oral surgeon for help with this...
Nothing to worry about, though, and I doubt it's the result of taking the ecstasy..........
Best of luck!

If you are missing teeth,the teeth you have will shift to become
in line and you will notice your jaw is not in line any longer or you can have wisdom teeth that are pressing on back teeth.
This causes head aches and the wisdom teeth sometimes need to come out.Only a Dentist can tell you for sure.
You need an ex-ray to see problems.

Jaw has a weird joint, moving up and down, in and out, side to side.
May have TMJ like me

TMJ. i have it, too. braces, splints or surgery are options. i had braces a second time but it didn't help. then my insurance didn't cover splints. i was told eventually i could end up with arthritis in my jaw. go see an oral surgeon for the best diagnosis.

Sounds like TMJ. Talk to your dentist.
It could get to the point that it hurts to chew. Take care of it now, before it gets worse.

Does it hurt or something, or are you just a paranoid person? There isn't really any way to "fix" it, mine does that too, and it used to click but doesn't anymore. Does yours always click?.... I've learned you have to live with all the little things that bother you about your body cause Doctors really can't do all that much, and surgery for something like that....forget about it. Sorry
