Answers:
If you are doing it intentionally, then yes it's bad.. Many people have issues with their temporomandibular joint (TMJ), sometimes it's just bothersome, sometimes it requires surgery..
This is something you should talk to your dentist about.. If it's a problem for you they can refer you to a specialist..Health Question & Answer

it's not great...... to be honest.. If you do it enough then your jaw will start to do it on its own (that is, accidentally).. It may become a habit and you do it just because you are used to doing it.. I'd try to stop, before it gets out of control..
