TMJ: The best thing to do is to get assessed by a TMJ dentist/doctor/ They might be able to make small changes or offer a retainer to help.

See OFP specialist: TMJ disorder is a complex medical condition, therefore, it's a good idea to see an Orofacial Pain specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. They are experts in TMJ disorder.
