Ear pain after getting two teeth adjusted at the orthodontist?

TMJ: It is possible that the bite adjustment irritated the tmjs which will often feel like ear pain.

Bite adjusted: See your orthodontist. They are changing the way you're biting therefore impacting your jaw joint, aka tmj, which is the likely source of your ear pain.
