I have TMD
I have difficulty in chewing and opening my mouth to make a big bite. Tic-tac sounds comes whenever I try to make a big bite. I can hear the sound while chewing. Also, when speaking for a little longer time i feel pain in the muscles near my cheek.
I got my teeth x-ray (attached) and found that my teeth are not alligned properly and I have 4 wisdom tooth. Is the TMD problem sue to this? I haven't taken any treatment for TMD yet. Please suggest me what to do? I am suffering from this problem from past 4 - 5 months. I took some muscle relaxant tablet (Flexon MR) but still the problem is there.

Well good morning madam...
I don't know how your tmd got diagnosed...but an OPG is never ever a diagnostic criteria for tmj diagnosis...
We require tmj xray open and close mouth views of tmj joints...on a larger scale an MRi
But first of all your needs to taken into consideration and relived a bit..and further follow ups with tens therapy will solve the issue all others also being followed... Had patients who used to cry because of pain...but thankfully they were well treated..
