Not necessarily : Your bite (occusion) and alignment of your teeth may dictate the need for braces. It is usually referred to phase 2 of the treatment for tmj/tmd. Phase 1 is usually the treatment of get you out of pain and into more function.

No: Your orthodontic treatment would be MORE complicated with TMJ. So your costs will NOT be less.
