Does anybody here think that still having your wisdom teeth can cause any symptoms of TMJD? I still have mine and think that may be one reason I have all my symptoms.

No, wisdom teeth will NOT cause TMJD symptoms.

I don't think wisdom teeth in and of themselves can cause TMJ, but wouldn't it be possible indirectly? Like an impacted wisdom tooth pushing down on a molar and moving it, distorting your bite and then the symptoms begin to roll in.

Mark,

That's a pretty good point.
