Question:
Wisdom teeth extracted, jaw is misaligned now: I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 6 months ago.
Before then, my top and bottom jaw were slightly misaligned, and I had a slight overbite. Now that my wisdom teeth are out, that position no longer feels comfortable. I haven't found where my teeth can sit together comfortably without hurting my jaw and head.
The overbite makes my jaw feel like it is stretching, though without it, nothing but the 4 front teeth touch together. How can I find a natural position back? .... Visitor from Alberta Canada
Answer:
First you should go to your dentist or oral surgeon to have a thorough examination of your bite, jaws and TMJ joints.
Then you should discuss your concerns with the dentist or oral surgeon. You could have had some
stretching of the posterior attachment of your cartilage of your temperomandibular joint, swelling in the joint or displacement of the discs.
Any of these problems should be diagnosed, treated and followed up closely. I am sorry for your problems but feel confident you can get resolution once you pursue treatment!
