You need to see a bone doctor about this.  I doubt it will just go away on its own.  In the meantime, go to your nearest pharmacy and pick up one of those rubber mouth-guards (like football players use), and keep it in your mouth while you sleep, and if it's helping, leave it in during the day, too.  Blessings - Blu

It could be temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).  You need to go see your doctor for treatment options.

Don't see a bone doctor for this - it's a dentist who can help you with your TMJ.
