A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jaw joint issues require professional care. Start w your family Dentist. Referral to specialist Oral Surgeon, specialist Oral Pathologist, or Oro-facial Pain specialist. You mention an overbite. Important that you also see a specialist Orthodontist. A nice cosmetic result is a side effect of Orthodontically correcting form and function.
