My jaw clicks everytime i open and close it and it doesn't hurt. what could this be? how can i make this go away?

"TMJ": There is a "disc" on right and left between the jaw joint and the skull. This can get "caught" or "stuck". It can also be damaged by trauma or grinding teeth or malocclusion. It can also become arthritic, although not usually in a 19 year old. Making it "go away" is difficult and complex. See a good dentist, .

1 year ago I unhinged my jaw, now it is out of place. It stays out of place until I click it back so I can open my mouth fully. I got used to it but last night something happened and it hurts more. My teeth dont sit in place. Do you have any advice?
