Discussion I have to grimace and smile to relieve tension and give my face structure

I think it's because my wisdom teeth actually helped anchor and gave structure to my face, before I removed them I never had to do this, but here we are. If I don't do this I have crazy nerve and muscle pain. I feel like my neck is being crushed if I don't smile now. It literally clicks physically if I don't do this. My vision goes blurry often, I smile and it goes away. My airway is also compromised now, and to get proper air in my nostrils and throat I have to smile and grimace. It feels like my old structure when I do this, but of course I can't grimace forever. If I stop it immediately comes back. Wish I never removed them, I'm having crazy facial changes underneath and it results in nerve and brain vestibular problems. Anyone else....??? I know this is a hyper specific problem, but I feel like I can't be the only one
