A member asked:
I have a misaligned bite. midline is off, overbite/overjet. probably the cause of my tmj symptoms. would jaw correction surgery be best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malocclusion: What would be best would be to see a specialist Orthodontist and the specialist Oral Surgeon that he/she recommends to evaluate your malocclusion and make treatment recommendations. An Orthodontist will see you for free and discuss your options with you after determining the nature and extent of your problem.
