See a Dentist, TMJ: Latest research disputes the popular belief that braces can trigger TMJ disorders. If you suffer from all of these symptoms, there are chances you have TMJ problems. See your dentist for consultation and referral to OFP specialist if needed.

Not cosmetic: Obviosly your problem is not just cosmetic, ie: your TMJ dysfunction. If it doesn't look right it doesn't work right, and vica versa. Please seek evaluation with a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist, or seek examination in the Orthodontic Department of a University Dental School.
