Jaw problem

2018-07-19 17:01:11
After almost 1 year, seeing my tmj post x ray my tmj doctor said to me t that now I should go to the next phase treatment that is orthodontic treatment but even now I can feel from outside that my jaw muscle are tight and both the jaw position are not symmetric and balanced. Also after removing my tmj splint I can't bite or chew properly. Now what should I do? How can I be sure that there is no problem in my jaw joint and tmj disk?

You can't bite or chew properly, it may be due to improper or unbalanced occlusion. So you should go for the next phase of treatment that is, orthodontic treatment. You should consult to a orthodontist.
