My jaw seems to be out of whack....like for about a year. It is constantly cracking and it seems to not be aligned correctly or something. sometimes it gets stuck and i am unable to open my nouth all the way. I dont think it is TMJ because it doesnt hurt its just annoying/frustrating. Got any ideas whats wrong? and if i got to a doctor should I see my dentist or physician?

HELLO CASSEY,
THIS IS DEFINITELY TMJD. A PHYSICIAN HAS NO CLUE HOW TO TREAT AND WILL REFER YOU TO SEE A DENTIST.
THE DENTIST SHOULD MAKE YOU AN N.T.I. BRUXISM APPLIANCE TO WEAR WHILE YOU SLEEP.
WITH TIME THE SYMPTOMS WILL START TO VANISH. SEE THE LINKS BELOW.

It seems like something is wrong. Go to your dentist... he/she'll know what to do. ^^
