Jaw Clenching Causing ETD, But WithTMJ Ruled Out?

Is it possible to have ETD caused by jaw clenching due to anxiety, but have TMJ ruled out due to normal bilateral jaw x-rays? I'm beginning to suspect this may be what's going on with me. The only thing I can attribute to the cause of my ETD is anxiety and jaw clenching. I have no allergy, sickness, or acid reflux symptoms and the 15 or so medications I have used had no effect on my ETD. I was also under extreme anxiety when ETD began and I wasn't sick. Today I'm beginning to notice a deep seated ache in my jaw joint and I think I was clenching my teeth when I woke up today. Thoughts?
