Try bringing your jaw forward and then open. I have TMJ and the doctor told me not to pop it all the time. It causes more wear. My jaw is 1/8" too short. They wanted to do surgery (back in 1989). I saw a show on TV about it and it turned me off! I decided to forgo the surgery back then, but it may have improved by now. I had a study done where they injected dye into my jaws. It showed tearing on both sides. If I wear a mouthpiece at night I won't wake up stuck and in pain.
