Would you believe, Larry, I can clench my jaw without my teeth ever touching? I taught myself to be aware of jaw clenching & purposely wouldn't let my teeth touch. Then I found that I'd 'learned' how to tighten my jaw muscles with my teeth apart. Ingrained habits acquire a physical memory. I now have to watch for jaw tightness & let my lower jaw sag a little - not enough to look stupid but to relax it. It's something that I need to be aware of always.
