Hi, dryness of mouth can also occur, in case you are breathing through mouth and just not nose! In few people, the nasal/ nose width would be narrow and tend to breathe through mouth. In a normal person the teeth are supposed to be in equilibrium I.e between the tongue on one side and the lips and cheek on the other. When you breath through mouth, your position of the tongue is lowered down. Due to which, your upper jaw becomes narrow and also probably you could have upper teeth irregularly placed. So, kindly get your root cause treated. Just medicines or water wouldn’t suffice!

Considering, you are not undergoing medication for a long time. Because as a side effect some medications show side effect of dryness of mouth. Hope no h/o salivary glands infection or operation,trauma to head and neck region. No H/ arthritic problem, as it sometimes Co exists with salivary glands disorder. If alcoholic for a long time that may reduce salivary flow. So,  quit that habit, if exists. Consume citrus food as much as possible. Continue drinking water 2.5 litre per day,  little by little. Sugar free chewing gum/lozenges.
Next Steps
visit dentist for clinical examination.
