I had a similar issue. Mine was tmj related from years of grinding my teeth. Got a night guard from my dentist then got a backup one online from Sportingsmiles.

@mikestrizz A physical therapist may be able to help too. I have had some TMJ issues that happened alongside having thoracic outlet syndrome and a cervical spine problem that makes my neck tight and affects jaw alignment. My PT does myofascial release along with traditional therapy. It has helped. I have had a clicking jaw too, and that can indicate a problem with the disc in the joint of the jaw and wear and tear.

Here is our discussion on myofascial release.
