Unstable bite & contracted muscles (Tmd)

2020-01-25 04:00:03
Even though my braces phase is going on for my tmj problem but even now I feel my right sided facial muscles are contracted (I feel this through my massage)...Also I feel my bite is unstable, unbalanced and not properly fitted. My braces phase is almost finished.... But I feel this. Is it normal to experience such observations? What should I do for my tight /contracted muscles and unstable bite? I don't feel any such pain from my tm joint and no clicking /popping. How to judge whether my tmj problem is joint related or muscle related? Please help....

Firstly make sure you have got done your braces from MDS orthodontist. Secondly visit MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has experience in TMJ disorders.
