Hi- I just got new dentures 2 months ago and now I have TMJ and pain on the right upper jaw. Could it be caused by the dentures. My new dentures have longer teeth than the old, and it does seem like a clench a lot with them. Thank you.

Hello Luv,
To answer your question. Yes, your denture could be the cause of your "tmj" problem if you didn't have it prior to the dental work.

take care,
gt
