A
human masticatory (chewing) system includes teeth, masticatory
muscles and temporomandibular joint (jaw joint). If
problem occurs in any one of these components, you may
get cramps in masticatory muscles, causing stress and
damages to the temporomandibular joint. Pain will be
felt. Very often, the cartilage in the jaw joints of
those who are suffering from painful jaw joints may
be dislocated during jaw movement, which results in
cracking sounds in the jaw joints.
