Are my jaw problems related to other joint problems, or is it just a coincidence?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have a stiff jaw, which sometimes prevents me from opening wide enough to eat a sandwich, until it clicks – loud enough for others around me to hear it. I also have fibromyalgia and had to have surgery recently to release a frozen shoulder that I’d been under the physio for a year with. Do you think the jaw problem is related to the other joint problems, or is this a coincidence ? Thank you for your advice.,
A.
Its likely to be a coincidence… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it normal for my jaw to be aching and painful?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Q.
4 weeks ago I started a course of cosmetic dentistry where I had all of my 26 teeth crowned for that “Hollywood Smile” The treatment took just over a week to complete and I am thrilled with the result, however I’m getting occasional aching and a bit of pain in my jaw. This can be in different places or sometimes not at all. I am managing this with strong painkillers but would just like to know if this is normal and is it just a case of them settling down. Thanks,

Is Invisalign reason for pain in jaw?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I got braces about 5 years ago and had them removed like 2 years ago. Before treatment i had to get 4 teeth removed, the 1st bicuspids. I guess my mouth is too small for my teeth. Since i had my braces removed my top front teeth have been shifting and my bite has changed as well. What I hate the most is the front teeth because they’re moving back to how they were before, like a V shape sicking out. (I used to suck my thumb as a child) So i decided to see another orthodontist since mine couldn’t really help me and just told me to press on my front teeth while watching t.v.! I just started treatment with the new orthodontist and he recommended invisalign for my top teeth and put in one of those glued on retainers on my bottom front teeth so they wont shift anymore. ( they’re pretty straight) I’ve only been wearing the invisalign tray for 3 days now but i notice my jaw is in pain on the right side. Is it because of the invisalign??? I don’t want the discomfort to get worse. Also, i dont know if this is an issue, when i had my impressions done for the invisalign, he also shaved between a couple of teeth in the front so that there would be more room for my teeth to move. So during the few weeks that I had to wait until i started my treatment, I felt my teeth and bite shift slightly since he shaved them and made room. So now when i’m wearing the invisalign its changing my top teeth to fit what it WAS a few weeks ago, And the bite on my bottom teeth are different since they started to shift. Is this an issue??? I hate that i’ve had to go to another orthodontist and pay alot more money for more treatment ( 6 months ). I also apparently have 5 wisdom teeth that have not been removed. This new orthodontist did not say anything about removing them. Would my wisdom teeth be causing my teeth to shift more? should i get them removed ASAP? or will i end up having to get even MORE treatment in the future once they’re out? I’m sorry for the long e-mail, i just need some advice. THANK YOU,
A.

Why am I getting pain in jaw so badly?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have had a recurring problem with my jaw over the past few years which presents itself as an inability to open my mouth very wide with some pain, with the stiffness and pain located in the top-left jaw joint. It happens very sporadically with months between attacks and no obvious cause beforehand. For some reason it has suddenly occurred but worse than usual, much worse. The left jaw joint is so painful if I try to open my mouth or even swallow, that I cannot eat anything requiring chewing because it is excruciatingly painful. Also, I cannot open my jaw very wide, as has happened before. What is new is the degree of pain when trying, it feels like I have suffered a blow to that area – a hard one! So far I have not sought treatment, nor ever had a dentist comment on anything being wrong with my bite or jaw alignment. What might be wrong and what’s the correct course to take? Thank you.,

What damage has jaw knock done to me?

Friday, February 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Glaister, I was wondering if you could help me with my jaw pain. Five days ago I was playing with my dog and when she was trying to get away from me, the top of her head hit right underneath my jaw. I was not knocked out or anything, but did have extreme pain. I was holding and rubbing my jaw all day, as well as opening and closing it, which did and still does cause pain. Mainly when I open my jaw is when it hurts. There is no clicking. I have placed a call to my dentist and awaiting a return call. Any advice as to what is going on with my jaw?,

Can you offer advice on how to treat crooked teeth and jaw problem?

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi, recently I have become more and more self-conscious of my crooked teeth, and I also have a few other problems with my jaw and teeth. I was wondering what can I do? as my dentist (despite visiting regularly) has not sorted or even attempted to provide me with information on what is available or what work needs to be done to put these problems right. These problems are holding me back to an extent, and I believe that if they were put right I would be much more confident.,

Firstly, I would reccommend yo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is surgery the only option for my overbite

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 21 and from Norfolk. I have just been and had a consultation about an over bite i have believing that it was sticky out teeth, turns out that it is not my teeth but my lower jaw :-( he said that i would have to have surgery if i wanted it corrected and that braces just wouldnt do much at all. he said that my overbite was 11mm and that the surgery would involve moving my lower jaw forward and probably my upper jaw back slightly. I am sure he said that this is available on nhs. i am now wondering if i heard correctly does this sound correct? Thanks
