thanks for your comment! I hope you are doing better now!
I went to the tmj specialist today and she said the same thing the dentist said, that I suffer from bruxism which causes this "jaw discomfort", she suggested trying a splint which I am very skeptical would help, I wonder if I should see a neurologist even before trying the splint and if the neurologist would take me serious since my symptoms are not visible to people and does not cause difficulty eating/talking, but when i close my mouth in a resting pose my jaw spasms and my tounge goes backward involuntary.

I think your Drs are giving you great advice. I would follow their advice and see if their instruction helps your problems. They specialize in this area. If it fails, you have lost nothing and you move on. If it works, problem solved on attempt #1!
