I can't answer your questions but I know what you are talking about - the left side of my lower jaw feels like it has sank or is lower than the right - I believe it has something to do with the joint position or the condyle not moving correctly. Clenching and/or grinding can cause one to feel like they are losing their teeth - it can make them sensitive, sore or achy and even feel like they are loose, over time it can also cause bone loss.
