| Re: major clicking In jaw. problem with TMJ, completly pops?
70% of population has at least one TM Joint that pops or clicks.
it's not normal, but so common that popping/clicking is not considered significant,
unless there is pain involved.
deviation of jaw upon opening may not be joint problem, but rather asymetry of your
head.
nobody has perfectly symmetric skull.
see if your ears are at the same height, if so, ask someone to see your ears from top of your head and see if they are located at the same distance front to back.
if they are not, that explains why your jaw is deviating.
if they are more or less symmetric, yet your jaw deviates alot, then there may be
joint or muscle problem.
if you are not in pain, no treatment is necessary.
surgery is never a good idea for TMJ, unless you have destructive joint disease like
severe reumatoid arthritis.
