Why does my jaw makes "clicking" noises?

[Deleted member 11167]

From time to time I cant properly open my jaw, it gets kinda hard to open my mouth, and when I do the right side of my jaw makes a clicking noise.
Any idea why is it happening?

You are cleansing your jaw too much, probably when sleeping.

If you're experiencing a jaw popping sensation every time you chew, talk or yawn, it may be from your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Let's find out how to deal with it.
