So I am getting some care for "TMJ" which I may have. I am fairly certain that some of the issues I am having are due to plagiocephaly. I am a male, short and in my 20s. I notice that the location of my condyle shifts very frequently and varies throughout the day depending on the amount of mastication and perhaps temple size? After sleep I can sense that certain connections are being made but they never last once I eat. What is "correct" and how do I get something fixed.
