I'm nor sure if this will help, but I am two (almnost) years out. I still find myslef clenching my jaw and biting hard with my teeth. It is VERY hard to relax the muscles once they haved been radiated. It could be tension and cramping. A masage of the area (if it is not too tender) or concentration on relaxing the jaw muscles may help.
