Jaw spasm/twitch causes bite

Other conditions
1

Hi

For the last 6 months I’ve been experiencing a jaw spasm/twitch which I think has started to get worse.

What happens is that through an involuntary movement I bite. It happens once and then not again for a few hours, maybe days. Thats it. No other symptoms with it. It usually happens more when I’m tired and talking/moving my jaw normally (e.g. yawning)

I went to the doctors because a few times it woke me up from sleeping but they said it was nothing serious and could just be a muscle thing that would go away but nothing has improved. Any ideas on what it could be and what I should do next?

Thanks

is it like a cramp?

I was going to say that, I sometimes over yawn and it snaps, I also have tmjd as well

Not like cramp theres no pain and it lasts literally less than a second as it’s just one involuntary bite. I’ve found very little on the internet apart from maybe TMJ but not sure if it’s that.
