Patient is a 33-year-old white female who has suffered from TMJ syndrome for a number of years. She consulted an orthodontist and found that she has cross-bite. In working her up for braces, the orthodontist found that her upper jaw was too small and that he could not guarantee that, the braces would correct the cross-bite.
