7 months into Invisalign, elastics now cause a clicking jaw. Will this stop?

cashaylisterDec 3, 2017
I am on month 7 of my Invisalign Treatment and I have just been introduced to elastics to correct my over bite, but now my jaw clicks when I eat and chew. I had a little bit of a clicking jaw when I was young, but it stopped by the time I was 7 or so (I am now 19) Will this correct its self through the treatment or will I something have to change in order for it to stop?
