do warm compresses work? there is a device that can help realign your jaw at night, and i think that would be dentist. it seems to be common with fibro, jaw pain and malalignment

also had this issue,unfortunately it can often be misdiagnosed as TMJ ( but seems to be a fibro symptom) Having cracked several teeth,My dentist used gold crowns as they would take the pressure. My physical therapist gave me an exercise, will sounds silly, and it took almost a year of doing it but it worked. 1. you tilt your head back 2 you stick out your tongue between your teeth 3 with your fingertips you tap under your chin quite hard as if you are going to hurt yourself for about a min. do this as often as you feel necessary. i am not sure but i think the idea is to switch your brain from clinching your jaw to the area that your tapping therefore kind of rewiring the brain action..

I went to see my Dentist. He diagnosed it as TMJD for me. I got a mouth appliance to wear and gave me some little exercises to help. I find if I'm in a lot of pain, I tend to clench which then irritates the TMJ. Then I end up with pain in jaw, shoulder and along my head
I hope this helps. ❀
