Hi !
About 9-10 months ago, I had a pain on the right side of my face, location appeared to be at the joint of the jaw to the skull. It was a minor thing, and through medicines, I got rid of the pain.
Even since then, I feel something is wrong with my jaw :
1. I'm not able to chew food completely, therefore have stomach problems.
2. The lower jaw seems to be have gone back / retruded. So the teeth of the lower jaw can now go further inside of the upper jaw.
3. The right side of my jaw clicks when I open and close my mouth.
4. I can actually make my jaw to get slightly stuck by aligning it a particular position.
5. One dentist referred to this as a deep bite. Most dentist couldn't figure out what I was talking about. These are their responses :
* you will have to live with the new orientation
* it's not pathological, will go away soon.
* you need braces for the (1) gap in your teeth...He was just trying to mint money out of me.
There is no visible problem, but it's getting uncomfortable for me. I feel, now i'm able to reach more inside of my upper teeth when I bite.
Please give me a diagnosis, or tell me what could be wrong. And what might go wrong if I don't get this treated soon.
Really need this information.
Thank you very much.
