Jaw problems
Question:
Sorry to be a little off topic – I was hoping to tap into our collective knowledge here. If anyone has heard of this happening, please respond. I have no idea what could have caused it, or what to do about it. I am 22, never had any dental work, except all 4 of my wisdom teeth were removed at 15. No cavities, never any braces, no broken teeth, nothing. I have always had a very nice set of teeth. Over the past 2 weeks, my teeth have been moving. Not just a little. In about 2 weeks, I went from a perfectly fit bite to having trouble getting my teeth to fit together enough to chew things properly. My jaw constantly aches, and has started crunching. When I try to close my mouth like normal (just putting my teeth together), I can feel pressure on my teeth, like they are being pushed out of whack. As far as I remember, nothing has happened that would have caused this. Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this and if it will go away on its own? I can’t afford a wasted trip to the dentist…. Misty

In summary, though – go and see your dentist; get a 180
