Hi Carlie,

Your teeth are pretty common in terms of fit or misfit that is.

If you are thinking that orthdontics will fix your jaw popping, that may not be the case.

By and large the research demonstrates that how your teeth fit is not linked to jaw problems. However, sometimes there is a direct relationship.

In your case, I don't know due to lack of info.

FWIW...an experienced Invisalign doctor could correct you bite imbalance with Invislaign. Also, the trend is away from headgear whether you are an adult or a child, as there are many other options.

Good luck, thanks.
