Q.
Hi there, i am a 17 year old looking into getting my teeth straightened something that should have been done when i was about 14 but i was never taken back to a dentist then.

I am looking into six month smiles and i have recently been told i have TMJ i am wondering if undergoing this treat ment will agrivate it?
