Condition of me tmj
After 2 yrs of treatment of my tmj problem now I don't feel any jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, can eat food more comfortably etc.. Now I have problems only in bite i.e my bite is off and muscles i.e tightness in jaw muscles. Even though my last phase treatment with braces is going on, can I be sure that there is nothing wrong in my tmj? Will I be totally normal after treatment? Please help....

bite corrections are carried out in the last phase of the braces treatment, which is called as settling, done by use of elastics.
Once your bite is settled the braces will be removed.
As of now even if you don't have TMJ problem. Regular check-up are necessary to prevent any relapse.
