Signs of clenching: You may have wear facets on several teeth (see picture), you may wake up with a tender jaw, you may wake up with a headache, you may have flat teeth or shiny fillings on back teeth, your teeth may have small fractures. See your dentist to evaluate you and fit you for a professional custom night guard.

Temporal Artery: You may be grinding/clenching and not know it. See your Dentist to evaluate for physical signs of pernicious habit. Grinding/clenching will not anatomically change shape of your arteries. Consult w your Physician. Need to do more sleuthing before being able to attribute cause/effect relationship.
