Hello,

I want to know if I have a TMJ problem. I inherited a bad set of teeth, crowding in my mouth so I got braces when I was 14. The dentist then removed 2 teeth on one side of my upper jaw. Since then my face has gotten more asymmetrical and my bite is not straight. I am chewing most of my food on my right side because thats where most of my teeth come together. I am now 26 and recently I started experiencing a slight pain or pressure on my left ear. I suspected it was caused by a wisdom tooth that had got stuck and infected so I had it removed. That helped a bit but I still feel a bit of pressure on the ear or the jaw muscle. Do you have any recommendations for me? Is there any risk of this getting worse? Should I try to get my bite corrected?
