You probably are suffering from TMJ disorder and/or bruxism. TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) can be treated by seeing an oral maxillofacial surgeon. Bruxism, night grinding of the teeth, can be treated with a mouthguard. It is best to have a custom made mouth guard from a dental office rather than a store bought one. I am a dental assistant and have seen both of these types of situations and I would recommend taking care of it right away before you start having major problems with your teeth or gums!
