yes it's called TMJ (temporomandibular jaw
disease) and caused by stress. Whether you know
it or not you clench your teeth, and if you don't
know you do, you do it when your sleeping. I have
this too. It seems to come and go on me. A
dentist can make a mouth guard to form in your
mouth for when you sleep to correct it. Very
expensive, i waited til i got dental insurance to
deal with mine. Well, i got the insurance i just
got to deal with it. But now i know the cause of
it i watch myself clench my teeth i don't get it
very bad anymore. I used to get it like you got
it really bad, really sucked, so i know what you
are going through. Good news is it's treatable
and alot of people got it. Good luck\
