Possible TMJs are strained; ligaments to TMJ (temporomandinilar joint, or the the jaw joint) too lax. Did you have recent dental work, cleaning done? Do you have pain?
Generally jaw rest will help. For a period of time avoid opening mouth wider than that is required to cause the click. Say > 1” and avoid chewing excessively (gum, steaks, raw hard vegetables and fruits) for 6 weeks. This will allow the TMJ ligaments time to tighten up.
