Braces and posible TMJ issues
I have crooked teeth not real bad but something I would like to fix. I also think I may have a case of TMJ. Not 100% sure but I do have TMJ systoms. So my question is should I fix the TMJ first if I do indeed have TMJ. Or can I get the braces first and worry about the TMJ after? I would rather fix my crooked teeth. Does anyone know?

You would talk it over with your orthodontic dentist. They normally can treat both issues at the same time.

My brother had the same issued he had a few crooked teeth and a slight TMJ issue. His dentist took care of both at the same time. Talk to a dentist first so that they can determine if you even have TMJ.
