Re: Tmj and orthodontia? Yay? Or nay?
For me personally, I am absolutely convinced that orthodontia caused my tmj. My jaw was brought forward (via rubber bands), and my palate was widened (via a spacer). My entire adult life I've had tmj headaches. I won't do the same to my kids. I may get braces for them to straighten teeth out, but I won't mess with their jaw position. Just my opinion though.
