I've had a perfect bite all of these years. Last year, due to the stress of having painful physical injuries, I started grinding again after many years. I started having TMJ pain for the first time in my life (lower jaw, right side).
Now, I've noticed that my perfect bite is gone. I can literally feel my lower teeth shifting forward. The pain in my mandible is worse. When I bite down, my top perfect teeth exactly meet with my bottom teeth.
I went to an oral surgeon, and he said that I may need orthodontic help. Will Invisalign braces help my situation, and can they be placed only on the bottom teeth?
Invisalign is another modality in the movement of teeth. It can be tremendously more efficient to use invisalign with people that are bruxers and grinders. People that brux their teeth are more prone to breakage of wires and broken braces which slows down treatment. The Invisalgn product also cause the madible to be positiond anteriorly in the glenoid foss which takes pressure off the temporalmandibular joint.
