Is tongue tie likely contributed to muscular Tmj problem or is this normal?

What was the most effective in reducing Muscular tmj symptoms (traps,scm, masseter and temporalis tightness). Temporalis tightness is easily the worst symptom as well as overall jaw tightness. Is anyone able to do PT, retrain breathing or any specific exercises, core work or myofunctinal/anything else that helped jaw tension? How long did it take you to reduce substantially or stop jaw tension?

Is an orthotic necessary if I have no joint issues and just have muscular Tmj symptoms; tight traps, Scm, masseter and very aggravated tempoalis? Would going straight to the orthotic worsen symptoms by moving the joint and I should go for a night guard that is more focused on stopping the overloading of muscles instead?

For those of you who have trap tightness and referred pain into neck and jaw, did you get trigger point injections or other injections that were able to break the muscular tightness cycle after a few months? What’s recommended when the tightness is starting at traps that have trigger points but I can notice core is tight and weak also.
