I don't know if braces will address my neck/shoulder pain or sinus / ear issues... it'd be awesome if they did! I do have a bit of a tight jaw so I've been reading into TMJ, I usually just massage the muscles of my face and then all is well.
I'm hoping to experience the weight loss benefit of braces... but if it hasn't happened now, will it ever? I cut out a lot of "bad" foods but it hasn't changed much (I probably just eat the calorie-equivalent in other softer foods. hah).
