Maloclussion Class 2 div 1 (overbite)
Large buck teeth, overbite issues, undergone ortho ceramic braces 3 years ago, teeth have gradually moved since, retainers stopped fitting after a while, gap on both sides of the upper teeth, constant feeling of having the jaw locked and tight, crackling noises (like cracking knuckles) observed on both sides of the jaw bone, occasional migraines.
Yours is a clear case of relapse. Why the relapse happened is a matter of discussion. Also, you seem to be having a condition called BRUXISM, wherein there are symptoms similar to what you have mentioned.
Next Steps
Relapse can be corrected by doing Orthodontic Treatment once again. Make sure you prevent relapse again. Bruxism or not, crackling noises are to be sorted out. You need to get it checked for issues. Please do not ignore.
