Improper and uncomfortable bite for tmd
Why do I feel so much uncomfortable and improper bite during the bite correction period through braces for tmd? Is it normal to feel such thing?
after 2.5 years of treatment for tmd I can chew food more comfortably and bite more comfortably ( upper and lower molar teeth are touching slowly). Does it indicate I am curing slowly?
Please help!
