Jaw problem- maybe?

I have a situation- I think? My upper jaw has to "slide" into position now- uncomfortably. I have molar buildups. Also when I bite down it's quite uncomfortable. My upper jaw feels too far forward. I don't know if I'm explaining it right. :oops: My upper jaw has to move forward too far- it feels funny. I have an overjet or overbite- I'm not sure what it is anymore. On my consult form it said that I have an overbite, orthognathic jaw relation (no idea what that is- anyone??), and crowding! I can't remember if it (my upper jaw) was like this before the molar build ups or braces at all!

Hope everyone who reads this understands my concerns.

Thanks in advance!! :D

I have TMJ and always had the feeling my lower jaw was too far back.
