What Causes Jaw And Ear Pain While Clenching The Jaw?
When I clench my jaw, my face ends up looking squished. I keep my jaw lowered as much as possible so that this effect won t happen. I am confused as to whether or not I have an overbite, because I do get pain in my ear from my jaw and minor tmj. Could you help me explain this issue? Thanks, Lucas Hirsch
