TMJ issues: You may have temporomandibular joint issues. If it’s only clicking and no pain, there is nothing to worry but getting your joints evaluated is recommended. TMJ is not just joint but also the muscles attached to it and any other structures related to that. Any problems with any of the structures could cause that issue
