When that happens, the hypothalamus sends a message to your body that it needs to warm up.<\/p>\n<p>One way the body can generate heat is to force your muscles to move in a rapid fashion. This is commonly known as shivering. Teeth chattering is just a form of shivering.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you find yourself chilled and your teeth begin to chatter, don&#8217;t worry.
