A member asked:
My daughter has had a clicking noise in her jaw for quite a while and it hurts her ear does she need braces if she never had them?

Clicking Jaw: This is unlikely her teeth but maybe her TMJ that has increased mobility. Talk to an oral surgeon for ongoing care. All the best.

TMJ pain: The jaw joint may be the source of that noise. Discuss with her dentist if teeth alignment are the cause. Avoid chewing gum and eating hard candy. These can aggravate symptoms.
