although crackling in the jaw can be from TMJ, crackling when you've just bent/twisted/turned your head is more likely to be inner ear fluid caused by a blocked eustachian tube.
nasal saline rinses, nasal steroids, and sometimes surgery for sinuses, can help. See an ENT!
I have the same problem. I was diagnosed with TMJ. A dentist can diagnose it for you. Mine is mostly on the left side but it pops and cracks and can get really annoying. Might want to make an appointment!
When I'm chewing with my right jaw, i experienced this 'bone cracking' sound. Sometime it hurts but sometime it doesn't. It doesn't happen every time. What's wrong with me?
This is exactly what I have, and still have after 4 years of Dr
this sounds like chronic sinusitis. i dont want to go making diagnoses, since i am not a doctor, but my mother has had this problem since her early 20s and that is exactly the symptom she described. you may not have any fluid because it might have flared up and settled back down or the mucous might be too thick. you should check up on it online some more and see if it's something you might want to bring up. hope this helps!
