My Jaw Locks When I Wake Up In The Morning?

    It happens around once a week and sometime i wake up in the morning to find out i can only open my jaw around an inch. I have had it before where i could open it enough to click it and then it would work fine until i fully closed my mouth and it would lock again.

    Over the past 3 or so weeks it has been constantly clicking and at times when i chew something hard on my right side a pain goes through my right jaw, enough to make me yelp.

    I wear a brace/mouth guard over night after i had my braces took out and it seems that i clench my teeth really tight when i am wearing them, i don't do it on purpose, i automatically clench my teeth tightly as i find myself in the morning with my teeth clenched.

    Any enlightenment on this would be awesome since i don't know whats wrong with my jaw, thanks alot.
