Answers:
You have TMJ which causes the clicking!. I didn't even know I had it until my husband complained so much my dentist sent me to a specialist!. He and his assistant were amazed I could open my mouth all the way and had no pain!. I had a full view x-ray of my head!. (there really is a brain inside!. LOL)
The specialist said I could wait until I have pain which could be just terrible or take care of it now; however, if he did something about it, the shape of my mouth would change and I would probably need braces!.
I decided to wait which really seemed to irritate him!. It's been over 15 years and my jaw clicks sometimes but I never have pain!. I can hear myself occasionally but usually notice it when I try to open my mouth and the jaw pops!.
Just mention it to your dentist at the next exam unless it hurts!. If it does, see him sooner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

keep using your splint!. If you feel its not working any more, you may need a new one!.
As for the clicking jaw !? i have it to, and its because i grind and clench!. It can be normal but if its painful or or worried about it go to your dentist and he will refer you to a TMJ specailist!.
