Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your clinical symptoms I suspect that you have forwardly placed teeth, this can either be due to enlarged maxilla or mandible or both. You require an OPG radiograph, impressions of the upper and lower jaw to determine type of treatment. As you mentioned you are going to take a jaw surgery next year and permanent braces can be placed. The process of grinding the teeth is medically termed as BRUISE. This can be due to stress, bad Chat Doctor. Treatment of bruise is required as it causes TMJ problems, attrition of teeth, sensitivity. Hope you find this is helpful, Regards.
