Is my facial pain caused by my jaw positions?
« on: April 13, 2015, 02:40:48 PM »
Hi, for about a year now I've had this debilitating facial pain on and off. Could malocclusion and incorrect jaw positions be causing this? Or is it TMJ?

I have marked the painful areas on this picture.



thank you

I don't think I grind my teeth in the daytime and I mouth breathe at night so I'm not sure if nocturnal bruxism is possible
