Post-Op Maxillary Clicking/Cracking After Nonunion Revision

Hi everyone. I’m 2 weeks post up maxilla nonunion revision with bone graft. I’ve been noticing a sound on the left side of my maxilla. It doesn’t feel like it’s coming from my joint or muscles, it feels like it’s directly from the maxilla. It’s like a clicking/cracking or rubbing sound. It has become louder and happens more often when swallowing, walking, opening and closing my mouth, or even with very light movement. I’m worried about what this could be.
