Hello! This Question Pertains To My 17 Year Old Son.


Yes it can be one of the cause and might reduce after treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing in.
As per the chief complaint, it clearly looks like a case of TMJ disorder and I would like to ask did you get his CBCT scan done and checked by oral surgeon. CBCT scan will give clear pictures as x-rays are only two dimensional.
Moreover, in terms of orthodontic treatment, improper bite can lead to TMJ disorder. So, it might help to reduce the problem. After 5 months, if he feels his bite has improved and their is slight change is his main problem then you are on the right track.
Please wait till the completion of treatment and also get the scan done and consult an oral surgeon and I’m sure things will get better.
Hope I answer your query.
Wishing you good health.
Kind Regards
Dr. Neha Sumra
