I have the same...finally got a night guard at the dentist and it helps a lot... kinda wierd because it is plastic molded to my mouth...I still clench but for whatever reason it takes the pressure off the jaw and wow - what a diff....I am suprised your Dr/dentist did set up up...I would inquire ...good luck
