Question:
Uncomfortable Bite: My teeth used to not touch on the back right when I bit down. I had tension in my jaw and stress headaches from this.
I went to an orthodontist to correct my bite with working retainers. This has been corrected and I can bite down on both sides of my mouth, but I still feel that same tension.
I've found that by massaging my jaw, my lower jaw naturally comes forward,and gives me an underbite. My chin recedes a bit and it actually evens out my profile when my lower jaw is farther forward.
This is more comfortable for me, so is this where my lower jaw should be positioned? Is there a way to move all of my lower teeth back so the underbite is gone but my jaw is farther forward? ...Visitor from CA
Answer:
Your question is a good one. Sometimes we are more comfortable when our jaw is forward but we are less
comfortable because our bite pushes our jaw back.
Everyone is a little different and has different needs. If you are looking for solutions, you need a
detailed evaluation.
