My condition is worsening

Question(s)

I’ve been dealing with jaw misalignment issues for 2 years now and started since I was 17M. My left jaw used to be a problem but for some reason is was more flexible and I could pop it back in place easily. I have more control and I could actually pop it back in place myself. Later on, every morning it’s now my right jaw that gets mis aligned and it’s very frustrating! I can’t open my mouth all the way and I can’t pop it back in place myself! The only way it pops back into place is to wait until it randomly does itself. Previously it was a few minutes after I got up but sometimes it takes hours for my jaw to randomly re align again. I just don’t know how my right jaw gets so bad! I even try to purposely misalign my right jaw to see how I do it at night but I couldn’t. Sometimes my right jaw will randomly pop back in place when I open my mouth and then misaligns right again after I close it. This kind of started to happen before I got my wisdom teeth removed and wondering if this is the cause. I also have ADHD and I’ve heard people say that daily life stress is the cause but right now my work load has been light compared to others.
