Asked By:Goran5689 in Nürnberg, Bayern, Deutschland

Dear Doctors, iam a 24 year old male who suffer from teeth clenching at night since im round about 15. The Doc found the issue. My Jaw is misaglined because i had a Crossbite which only got Camouflaged with Braces. I will get Bimax-Op around next year until my TMJ is fixed. What i also noticed is that my overall Jaw got very Bulky. My face seems way to wide but idk if its because of the masseter or that i just have abnormal buccal fat also. Ill Post a Pic from front and side where i clench.
