It is possible that you have a displaced disc or other pathology in your right Temporomandibular Joint. We can't confirm that for you in this forum as more diagnostic information (examination, imaging) is required. See your Dentist. You may be referred to an Oral Surgeon, Oral Pathologist, Orthodontist, or a Dento-facial pain specialist.

This may be a TMD problem and needs a dentist trained in treating TMD for a proper exam and diagnosis. Do you have a history of trauma? Do you grind your teeth?
