2-3 weeks ago my jaw started shifting to the right, which I got checked to a dentist a week ago, which told me to get a night guard for my bruxism and to see if it gets better. I got my night guard yesterday and I used it. But it's been 3 days since I can't open my mouth wide enough. It's only 30mm, when I try to open it my left jaw starts to hurt. It doesn't shift to the right anymore but it's opening got smaller and when I try to open my mouth wide the pain or something makes me unable to. Are there any fixes to this? And will self ligating braces make it worse? Im planning to get my wisdom teeth removed in 2-4 weeks depending if I can open my mouth wide enough since the ortho says they can't remove them till I can fully open my mouth.
