Can braces help with TMJ issue?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Q.
I had braces as a child though I have not been wearing a retainer throughout the years because I was unaware that I needed to do so. Subsequently, my teeth have been shifting back to the original position. Additionally, I have been grinding my teeth at night and my jaw is slightly out of alignment as well. My question is whether or not braces will be able to fix not only my dental issue but the TMJ issue as well? Thank you in advance for your answer. Truly,
A.

I need a tooth removing – will sedation help as I have TMJ?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Q.
hi, i hope you can give me some advice as i dont seem to be getting anywhere with my dentist. i had an abcess in my top right molar ( the first big one) the dentist drained it and put antibiotics in it, and temp filling til i can get the tooth taken out. i was still getting pain in the cheek area but i also have TMJ, which is why i can not have root canal as its hard for me to keep my mouth open for long periods of time. i have been referd for IV sedation as i am a nervous patient and im a little worried on how this will be, but also my wisdom tooth on that side is grinding on my bottom molar, and causeing a dull ache, my dentist said its a dead tooth and i have a cross bite, what does this mean? im 34 and never had a problem with my teeth til 3 months ago.,

Can braces help to cure TMJ and correct teeth alignment?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
I have TMJ. My teeth used to be crowed, but I had the extra teeth removed when I was 20. I am now 41 and my teeth have shifted to fill in gaps from the previous teeth. I have a slight overbite and my teeth on the right side are angling inside my mouth. I have TMJ. Will braces help correct my teeth and possibly cure my TMJ? I have a mouth guard now. Will I need one with the braces? Thanks!,

what can I do to get the worn teeth repaired and what would be the cost?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Q.
I have very worn teeth where they meet the gum line. My own dentist does not seem interested in doing anything about it or referring me to someone who can. It is very noticeable when I smile plus I am worried they are just getting worse. I would rather avoid having veneers if possible but have heard that white filling can be used. So my question really is what can I do to get the worn teeth repaired and how much would it cost?

A.
