Mine did that for about a year and a half.  It started to actually pop out and I would pop it back in.....well one time it did it at night.  I was too tired to pop it back in at that time, so when I woke up my jaw was locked.  I had to go to an oral mandibular spcialist to get it poped back in.  Well then minute I woke up from the procedure it poped back out.  It took a total of 6 months before I could open my mouth fully.  So I would try to go to a dr. now so you dont have to deal with it.  But I still think the only thing they can do it give you a mouth piece.
