Problem in tmj
I think I have problems in tmj. I hear clicking noise. Also, when I clench my teeth and then keep my hands on my cheeks on the tmj and open it, there's a difference between the two muscles. And this has also led to facial asymmetry. What's the treatment so that both my joints function smoothly? Also, if I bite in a different position, my joint on both the sides feel even. Can braces help me get my tmj back in place and make both of the tmj function smoothly? I think I might have an overbite. Does overbite lead to difference in tmj muscles on both sides and asymmetry?

Bite problems can cause TMJ issues. In such cases correction of occlusion by braces treatment will help solve TMJ issues
