What Causes Jaw Clicking?
- Disc Displacement: The most common cause is the displacement of the articular disc inside the TMJ. The 'click' is the sound of the disc popping back into its correct position.
- Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the joint can lead to rough surfaces that cause grating sounds (crepitus).
- Muscle Imbalance: Tightness or imbalance in the chewing muscles can affect how the joint moves.
