I highly doubt that the braces caused any of the complaints you have... they would have occurred during the course of treatment, especially the tooth that "died", not years later.
TMJ is one of the least understood phenomena in oral medicine. There have been hundreds of longitudinal, peer-reviewed research articles that have found no correlation between ortho treatment and temporomandibular dysfunction. By the same token, any dentist that tells you Invisalign will fix your jaw pain is overselling treatment. There is only about a 30% chance your pain will improve, 30% chance it will stay the same. Best of luck with your treatment.
