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?
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!
