Jaw and Ear pain - both sides

Hi,
I've recently been encountering a strong ache or pain in the back of my jaw verbarating all the way up into my ears and behind them. The pain is on and off and usually occurs in the mornings.

Initially I thought it may be from my Headset (as it sits on my ears) but I tested this theory by not wearing it for a few days and the pain still occurs.

My second theory is that it is my wisdom teeth finally coming through and I believe this may be the correct assumption as I've noticed my front teeth have, over time, started crossing over. I have not seen my dentist about the pain yet and last I visited, he mentioned it didn't look like my wisdom teeth had surfaced yet (this was 6mths ago).

I have been told I am a chronic teeth clencher both in my sleep and when I get angry and this may also be the reason however I don't see how that could cause pain in my ears.

Please help! Thank you!
