Dislocated jaw: Most probably you have a dislocated joint and this may be caused by your bite that causes your jaw to move to a position where it is compromised. If you click, then open and move your lower jaw forward (edge to edge) and you no longer click that is a good sign. Check with your dentist or get a referral for someone that can help you address why your jaw is dislocated.
