Having Discomforts And Little Pain In Left Jaw. Suggest Remedy

Hi, I'm not sure if this should concern dental or ortho matters. But I think I might have some slight abnormalities on my left jaw. I don't experience severe pain but there are discomforts/little pain in some mouth movements such as yawning, eating, etc. A little background on dental history is that I had braces before and had it removed. Can this be the reason for the slight "locked jaw" that I am currently experiencing? Thanks.
