Hello,
This is my experience: i lost vertical dimension on my left side. Sometimes it clicks on my left side and sometimes not. But i always click on my right side even though i gained some height on my left side. Clicking has to do more with the anatomy of the disc in my situation. The middle of the disc, where the condyle sits, is pretty thin. But the sides are pretty thick or bulky (wrong description?). So when i lost vertical dimension on the left side, the whole jaw sort of tilted. So, although my right side has the right height, the condyle isn't in the right place. That's where the clicking comes from on the right side. But you can also get clicking if your jaw is sitting back on the fossa. My sort of clicking was mentioned in Dr. Terrance Spahl's book, volume III. I would recommend anyone reading that book, volume III, before seeing a dentist. It's very technical and you can learn a lot. In my honest opinion, you WON'T get cured or find a good doctor if you don't read it simply because you have no idea what's going on with you. And we all know that most TMJ doctors are in it for the money. So yes, i would say it is a must read.
take care,
