The feeling of cracking in the head may be related to disturbances in the cervical spine, temporomandibular joints or states of anxiety. These changes are often described as cracking, noise and / or pain in the ears, pain or difficulty chewing, opening the mouth, yawning, headaches, neck and teeth.
A possible and relatively frequent cause is the so-called temporomandibular disorders (TMD), bone and muscle changes of the joints between the mandible (bone where the lower teeth of the mouth are fixed, which is mobile) and craniofacial bones.
The success of the treatment depends on the exact diagnosis and consists of a multidisciplinary approach, which may involve the dentist, speech therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist and otorhinolaryngologist.
