Why does it feel when i push my jaw up from bottom, left side near molars, like i am able to move them up to touch top row of teeth, like a grinding sensation.the right side of jaw is steady and does not move up to give grinding sensation when closed?

Requires examination: First, understand that we are not bilaterally perfectly symmetric. Second, the only way for us to determine why you have different experiences. You will require an in-depth dento-facial examination and probably imaging, to determine if this is simply normal variation or the indicator of a problem. Please see your Dentist.

A member asked:
If I have a crown in one of my molars and the crown is slightly unfit (bigger than what my jaw allow, just slightly), could braces possibly adjust that to align/fit my other teeth as well or should I get a new crown that perfectly fit before braces?
