Answers:
It sounds like TMJ, where your jaw isn't quite set right in it's joint!. It causes lockjaw and pain!. It's very common, talk to your dentist!. I don't believe the lockjaw has anything to do with the braces, but definitely mention the "moldy" part too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, you really need to talk to an oral surgeon!.

If your teeth have moved after you've had your braces taken off (even if you've been wearing your retainer) might be a sign you jaw might have continued growing and moved everything out of alignment again!. Your jaws not growing in alignment can also be a cause of several different problems, including lockjaw!.

Firstly, though, you need to get those wisdom teeth out! I don't think they're the cause of anything, but having them prevents/complicates a lot of different treatments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HELLO!.
have the wisdom teeth removed as you might have been told TMJD can occur after braces but, the wisdom should have been taken out before bracesWww@Answer-Health@Com
