Why is my jaw making noises? Should I be worried?

I was lip-syncing along to some music, and I was getting really into it and opening my mouth really wide. But then I noticed my jaw kept making a popping sound, and it's kinda uncomfortable to open my mouth all the way. Thoughts? I know you people are not professionals.

Could be tmj? Could happen when people clench there jaw or grind there teeth

Lately, I've been using my teeth to bite off my split ends. Should I stop doing that?

Maybe you should try that

That'll be kinda hard since it's such a habit now, but maybe the fear of TMJ will help me quit.

I had exams and bit my nails a lot and then got tmj
