Unconscious muscle tensing may be a result of low blood sugar. Since I have been on a diet to level my blood sugar out, I don't notice my teeth clenched as much.
www.hufa.org has some basic info on low blood sugar. You may want to check out the symptoms link and see if you have any others.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome or TMJ joint disorders are medical problems related to the jaw joint. The TMJ connects the lower jaw to the skull (temporal bone) under your ear. Certain facial muscles control chewing. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, problems biting, and popping sounds when you bite.
The TMJ is comprised of muscles, blood supplies, nerves, and bones. You have 2 TMJs, one on each side of your jaw.
Muscles involved in chewing (mastication) also open and close the mouth. The jawbone itself, controlled by the TMJ, has 2 movements: rotation or hinge action, which is opening and closing of the mouth, and gliding action, a movement that allows the mouth to open wider. The coordination of this action also allows you to talk, chew, and yawn.

You may have TMJ. May want to get tested from your Dentist. I know I have the same troubles. The only way I know of to prevent it is to where a bite thingy over your top part of your teeth. Truely helps!

Your probably stressed out. I did this when I was stressed out and actually cracked two teeth at night from biting down so hard. I also found out my blood pressure was high. When I was put on blood pressure medication, my jaw relaxed and I no longer had anymore problems

U may be cutting wisdom teeth which is dangerous and effects the jawbone.
Go get an xray , or go to a dental clinic.
try hot fluids, teabags in mouth to help
