Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having lax TM joint or mild sub-laxation of the joint.
Stop chewing tobacco or hard stuff which will give more injury to TM joint and there might be having risk of sub-laxation of the joint.
Keep your fingers for protection while opening your mouth wide open or yawning.
Ok and take care.
