Your bodies muscles tighten and constrict to generate heat and energy

MSA is right, our bodies are cold and our core temperature is starting to drop well below a safe range, so our bodies naturally starts shaking to use up stored energy causing us to warm up. The process of our jaw shaking causing our teeth to chatter to because the rest of our body is shaking as well, and since most of our heat is lost through the top of our head, the jaw is the only movable joint on our head, therefore it shakes the most to create the most friction in our joints to create heat, to warm us up.

When our body temperature starts to lower we start to shiver. This is a natural reaction of our body to the lowered temperature and is a way for the body to produce more heat. Teeth chattering is just a part of this reaction.

Your muscles contract and release the tension rapidly in hopes of warming up.

Fast muscle contractions generates heat due to friction, like regular muscle activity does. We do so to create heat for our brain, so it doesn't freeze.

Because our body needs to be warm, so it commands our jaws to move in order to spend energy and warm ourselves (that's what i heard).
