I've been dealing with constant jaw and neck pain for about a year now, and I recently saw an oral surgeon who suggested I get an MRI of my TMJ. I'm a bit worried thoughis it okay to go ahead with the MRI during my menstrual period, or should I wait until it's over?

My brother in the US got an xray showing his wisdom teeth are growing abnormally - 3 teeth with 2 in weird positions. The doctors there recommended removal surgery. He's coming to Mumbai in September for treatment. Is surgery the only option here? Who would be the best specialist to consult for this in Mumbai?
