TMJ Problem

Asked for Female, 24 Years

Hi, my tmj of left side doesnt work properly, when i touch on right side i feel that circular bone movement but on left side i couldn't feel that circular bone, also it is causing some discomfort in eye(dry eye), breathing on left and left facial area. Even facial appearance on left is slightly different than right. There is no pain, no limited mouth opening or anything, I have misaligned tooths but i am correcting them by orthodontics treatment; But what should i do for TMJ. I am scared if it is going worse & i ll have to go for surgery or something.

It could be possible for you to have an underlying joint dysfunction. But it highly unlikely that your dry eye is associated with this issue. There is a possibility of this condition becoming worse. Pain is not always seen in a joint issue. You should consult a tmj specialist for a evaluation of the function of both joints and see if any active treatment is required.
