Teeth pain, TMJ?

Hey all, hope everyone is well! I've had on and off teeth pain for about 6 months now, usually only on one side but past week it has affect both back sides of my jaw/teeth and my inner ear both sides, could this be TMJ? It really does hurt and when I look in my mouth, I can't see any lumps or redness to suggest infection but it is pretty uncomfortable, almost feelings like a tight band pushing my jaw inwards? It's a weird uncomfortable feeling. Dentist when I saw last about this issue did note my teeth are not straight so much easier to cause pain if grinding, but because it's now both sides and my ears are affected it's concerning me a bit

I’m going through the same thing with facial discomfort too.

I am going to see a dentist who specialises in tmj disorders.
First step on the path.

Hi Deedoo.
Yes I have tmj disorder and a really bad open bite, my teeth don’t meet together at all which puts a huge amount of pressure on my facial muscles.
I take 60mg of Duloxetine daily which helps a lot.
How are you doing?

@KnittyNell did you try muscle relaxers ? I'm going to ask for duloxitine what wash your diagnosis
