Orthodontics can certainly help alleviate any TMJ symptoms. Depending on your bite and how malpositioned your teeth are, orthodontics may be indicated to provide room for the implant and prosthetic tooth.

I doubt it. Best to get a second opinion after an exam

You have a complex problem requiring multidisciplinary care. Ask your General Dentist to refer you to an Orthodontist for evaluation. The Orthodontist, Generalist, and Oral Surgeon should then consult to establish a coordinated treatment plan. Orthodontic care may reduce or eliminate joint symptoms. Splint therapy prior to braces is often indicated. Seek competent care.
