My jaw is broken.

Hello, I guess my jaw is broken. The reason I think it is because it makes noise when ever I eat or just move my jaw. It has been a long time. But now I am finding it irritating as it may be a problem in the future. I have no clue. Please help me what to do.

Hello did you have accident or trauma years back. ? anyway clicking noise near the jaw joint or ear is a quite common.  pls do consult with an oral maxillofacial surgeon. especially if there is pain or dislocation too

Get an opg done and based on that it can be confirmed if it's fractured or not or mostly it might be clicking of the joints too clinically  get it consulted by a maxillofacial surgeon
