Changes in bite: Sounds like a lot of oral issues. It is likely your bite changed significantly after the surgery and extractions. This can cause pain over time, as can a kind of arthritis called TMJ syndrome. However, even years later, decay, infection or other things can happen in the jaw. It is time to see your dentist or oral surgeon.

Malocclusion: If teeth and jaws do not meet properly, do not function properly, untoward stress is placed on the jaw joints. Think how your hips would feel if you had 1 lag 10% bigger than it should be when compared to the other. Your malocclusion may have caused Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. Please see a qualified Orthodontic Specialist for evaluation.
