Teeth biting problem
I am having teeth biting problem almost every night. Everyday I have pain in jaw at the early morning.
Per my dental records 2 yrs back, my upper and lower jaw are not aligned. Will my bruxism be because of this? How do I correct my jaw alignment?

Hi, causes of bruxism can be improper teeth/jaw alignment, anxiety, stress etc. If ignored it can lead to serious problems like fracturing, loosening,pain in jaws or loss of teeth. The underlying causes have to be corrected in order to get rid of this problem.
Next Steps
Visit an Orthodontist for your jaw/teeth alignment problem, he/she is the specialist to correct this problem.
