deviated jaw

Hi everyone!

Wondering if any of you have deviated jaws... or have had your jaw realigned by braces.

My jaw is deviated, and i've been told it has a lot to do with the way my teeth are. But i've been told i have condylar hyperplasia as well. So it's confusing for me... i don't really know if it would be safe to straighten my teeth and re-position my lower jaw a lil' bit with just braces, i'm afraid it will mess up my jaw joints. I have an appointment with an ortho and specialist on saturday, they'll have analyzed my x-rays by then. I can't wait to hear what they have to say....

Have any of you had problems with your jaw joints after braces? or feeling anything weird going on with them while in treatment?

Stories from real people would help me out a lot... thanks in advance!
