Just from the pictures itself the asymmetry is not that visible. In the first picture your bite looks fine. You need a proper assessment for jaw joint clicking by an Oral Surgeon. It might be due to the clicking your jaw deviates on one side while opening to avoid pain.

See an Oral Surgeon

You have to take consultation from an experienced orthodontist who can correctly rectify the main cause. Clicking and deviation in the jaw are signs of tm joint problem but there are various factors attached. Evaluation with a dentist is must.
