I have TMJ, braces seemed to help a little. I think it may be because my teeth sit together more comfortably now.

Just be extra aware of how the adhesive is affecting your teeth/enamel. I have scars and had my braces off early. Full disclosure, I brushed but I didn't use the little brush to go under the wire and clean around each bracket properly. I don't know if that would have helped or not.
