Hi,
Clicking while function is due to the disk in the joint popping out and getting back.
The reason for the disk malfunction is muscle spasm and dysfunction.
All this happens because some teeth or restoration on the teeth might be placed in such a way that doesn't allow closure of the jaws comfortably.
Sometimes the body adapts to the problem, but other times it only aggravates, which is when you show a specialist.
Treatment involves deprogramming the muscles, recording the ideal joint position on a device and identifying which tooth/teeth are deflecting the joint. The correction is done then in the mouth.
For the time being you can apply heat packs to the joint and also gargle with warm water. Try soft diet.
Avoid opening your mouth too wide.
