My jaw cracks from time to time. It's called TMJ. It's fixable by surgery if it bothers you. Mine doesn't bother me enough to warrant the risk of surgery. Surgery is no longer recommended (Dr. Davidson at UCSD). If you have pain with it, you should search on teeth grinding or jaw clenching and repair it.

Does cracking jaw affects anything?

Cracking your jaw occasionally is usually harmless and may not cause any issues. However, if jaw cracking is accompanied by pain, limited movement, or other symptoms like headaches or difficulty chewing, it could be a sign of a more serious underlying issue such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent discomfort or problems with jaw function.
