Change in bite during Tmj treatment
During my final phase orthodontic treatment with braces for bite correction because of tmd I am now experiencing that my bite is changing almost everyday and this change is happening in very uncomfortable way which make me very nervous, anxious and frustrated.
Also I feel that my overbite is increasing due to the action of braces...is it possible for braces to increase my overbite? Is doing masturbation 3 days in a week will affect my tmj problem?
Please clear my doubts and please help me 🙏.

Hi
No need to worry..you may have mild discomfort during the treatment phase...everything will get corrected at the end of treatment...periodic clinical and radiological examination can be made to check for improvement
