Possible jaw muscle: the head and neck work together and the teeth determine the pattern of function for the jaw muscles. if the teeth are not in a harmonious relationship,this causes problems. see a dentist that understands "occlusion"( the way that the teeth come together). Then they may refer you for some physical therapy and/or chiropractic treatment.
