Posterior Open Bite from Bicuspids to Molars on Both Side Using Invisalign?
panda3388Jul 19, 2012
I have recently finished 2 refinements with invisalign, and then started feeling intense pain in my upper right jaw. I was diagnosed with TMJ and they believe it is caused by the posterior open bite that I now have. I am wondering why I have this now, when I haven't my whole life, and what could have caused it? My orthodontist never noticed this, I had to go to my dentist who noticed it immediately and referred me to a specialist. A speech therapist also ruled out tongue thrusting.
