What Relieves The Pain In Face, Head And Jaw?

Hi I am a 52 year old female with a large overbite approx1cm. I had braces when I was 13 for 2 years but only seemed to space the teeth out. I am now and have been for a couple of years getting a lot of facial and head pain. I also have a lot of trouble eating due to jaw pain. Is there anything that can be done?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

This could be due to improper bite, TMJ disorder, bruxism.
A thorogh clinical examination and evaluation is required.
I would suggest you to consult to an Orthodontist.
Take an OPG radiographand impressions for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Take combiflam 500mg BD for pain relief.

Take care!
