The most common cause is night time teeth grinding or clenching, which strains the jaw muscles.
Other possibilities include your sleep position, TMJ issues, sinus pressure, stress, or recent dental work.
If the pain lasts more than a week or comes with clicking, locking, or frequent headaches, please contact us to book an appointment.
