Q.
Hi, could you help me My bite became open around jan, for no apparent reason. My front teeth stopped meeting and my back molars started meeting, this led to clenching, then ear noise and now my head goes into a locked spasm, and my jaw and occupit muscles, and the only way to release this is to tap on my teeth with my nail whilst rotating my neck. The muscles seem to get hard and snappy, then sort of sticky. Every one has a different diagnosis. I can find no reference to this sort of release with teeth tapping anywhere. I can also release the spasms by tapping my head/scalp. I feel like a freak and it is affecting my health badly. I was advised that having the molars at the back reduced in size my bite could be re-aligned. I have amalgams so they would need to come out first, I am wary of this as it seems more risky than building up a bite, if it didn’t work or made matters worse…what then. I need to know what is going on and why my bite changed to begin with, and why this situation is really affecting my sense of wellbeing. any advice would be very appreciated,
