Highly variable.: It is likely to need surgical intervention. evaluation by an experienced dental surgeon with x rays would be needed. For pain in the short run, a mouth guard at night is often helpful BUT this is not a long term fix, doesnt deal with the specific anatomy in your case.

TMJ: Your temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/temporomandibular-disorders-tmd#1
