Dear patient. TMJ problems are real and I understand your concern. It needs a step be step and usually prolonged treatment. Not starting treatment in early stages only makes it more complex and severe. It is good that you are noticing these changes at such an age. Start soon to reap benefits of health.  Visit a dental clinic in your city for check up. Avoid self diagnosis and self treatment. Hope this helped
