Hi! i honestly don't quite understand what some tmj/tmd experts say that when the clicks stop, it's a sign of improvement, and some say it can be a sign of worsening. what is right anyway?

It will depend on the cause of the click. Discuss with your dentist.

Understanding dysfunction is not straight line unambiguous simple path. We are truly in our infancy of understanding the anatomic variations and physiologic discrepancies in this most unique joint. It's not like any other in the body. Depending on the cause of the click, diminution of symptoms can indicate improvement or worsening. Ask your Dentist for explanation or referral to joint specialist
