It is observed that TMJ disorders can be the cause of severe tooth pain. But if you have poor bite alignment then also you can face biting or chewing difficulty. I think you need to consult with an experienced dentist for a proper diagnosis.

TMJ has mainly to do with the way your jaw is aligned. The most common cause of TMJ is grinding your teeth when you sleep. First visit your normal dentist or try seeing an orthodontist or a braces dentist.
