The treatment depends on the cause of The clicking. If bite is incorrect then orthodontic treatment may help. If there are other issues a soft splint can be done which will reduce forces on the joint .
Health Tips
Avoid too wide mouth opening like during yawning etc. Avoid eating hard things and have a soft diet

It could be a disturbance in the disc present in joint. It could have been because of some distress caused due to wide mouth opening or some bite related issues which was long-standing. So kindly see a dentist who will take a proper history and gives u a solution for the problem.
