Our bodies like to maintain a constant temperature. When you’re cold, your body tries to warm itself up by shivering. Shivering makes your muscles tense up relax in a fast, rhythmic fashion, and this movement generates more body heat. When the muscles in your jaw tense up and relax, it makes your teeth clack together.
