Tmj ?
I have found that the stress from my neck causes me to clinch my teeth at night. It started about two years ago. I got a bite gaurd to wear at night while I sleep and it's much better. You can get one from your dentist for $2000.00 (some medical covers it) OR your can go on line and order one for $150.00. If not TMJ then I would have cranial massage done. Sometimes it could be pressure or stress. Cranial nerves and upper level c 2/3 control the face, so who knows. Have you told your doctor?
