Hi
Kindly attach OPG for better assistance.
The most common reason for jaw popping and deviation is because of impacted wisdom teeth.
Access for the last tooth is difficult,so wide opening is mandatory,it ll not cause any issues for prolonged duration,it ll resolve in a week,provided you follow all the instructions given by ur dental surgeon
If u don't extract impacted teeth than ur TMJ issue will turn more severe.
It is wise to get them extracted rather than keeping it.
Hope ur question is answered.
Next Steps
kindly visit nearby oral and maxillofacial surgeon for physical examination and evaluation
