Change in facial symmetry

2019-04-09 08:58:22
My facial symmetry has been changed totally as a result of excessive teeth clenching. Also I have some jaw joint and muscles problems. How can I come back my normal facial structure and normal bite? Can tmj splint give me my original bite and symmetrical normal facial structure (as I am being treated with splint and braces) or something else? What should I do now? Please help.

I think occlusion has to be studied carefully in such a case. Minute details matter alot. Keep following instructions given by ur dentist cautiously.
Next Steps
It could be a multidisciplinary case. Kindly consult a Prosthdontist first.

Tmj splint therapy will help you to achieve maximum originality to your face and also the occlusion. Please follow the instructions properly given by the dentist and keep faith in his treatment.
