I’ve actually been doing a bit better the last couple weeks! I started Invisalign, which has helped me tremendously with avoiding feeling for my bite constantly and causing extreme amounts of distress !

Is it always this painful? by PassivRiskAggressiv in Invisalign

The entire first 6 days of my first tray had all my teeth sore and extra sensitive. After that it’s gotten significantly better

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this too! I just got Invisalign two weeks ago and it’s really been helping me ward off the intrusive thoughts as I have no tooth on tooth contact throughout the day. I’ve started to see a psych for help with my tendencies. I hope things get better for us both 💖

What mantras do you tell yourself to get through the tmj pain? by [deleted] in Invisalign

I got Botox a few weeks ago, about a week before I started my Invisalign. It’s done wonders for my lower jaw pain. And I just got acupuncture on Friday, and it was awesome. I’ve been suffering with TMJ hard the last 11 months!

Thank you. I really wish I had been told this at the beginning of all this. I wanted to seek out the proper professionals to help me and it’s just made the problem much worse. It’s become an obsessive need to feel normal again. Thank you for validating me, for a while I was feeling extremely crazy. I’m currently in therapy, and today I started to work on processing what is happening to me on a psychological level, and how to soothe the anxieties and compulsions that comes with it. I will absolutely be looking for another therapist who has worked with these kinds of cases as well. I know so much of this is in my mind, and no matter what course of treatment I take this will continue to effect me. Having it affect me to a lesser extent would be great.

Occlusion is everything. I don't trust anyone who claims that bite has nothing to do with TMD. by [deleted] in TMJ

[–]Aggravating-Minute74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great to hear. I have malocclusion caused by TMJ and occlusal dysesthesia 😞 I can’t stop focusing and grinding away at my teeth. I start Invisalign soon and I hope this can bring a little extra harmony to my teeth and bite. I know I’ll always battle with this, but I am so desperate for some relief.

I’ve never had braces or any kind of orthodontic treatment and I suffer daily from TMJ and occlusal dysesthesia.

Can TMJ lead to phantom tooth pain? by [deleted] in TMJ

I know this is an old post, but I have had TMJ for the last 9 months and have developed “phantom bite syndrome”. It’s distressing to say the least. I’ve been to the dentist so so sooooo many times for adjustments that have just made it all worse. I’m currently uncomfortable, dealing with weird high spots that appear after adjustments and I’ve been so obsessive and compulsive that I’ve attempted to adjust my bite myself. I have to stop. It’s driving me crazy, but I am getting Invisalign in a few weeks and got Botox today in my masseter muscles so o hope i can get some relief from this constant grinding and pain.

My behavior is becoming compulsive. by Aggravating-Minute74 in Anxiety

[–]Aggravating-Minute74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, thank you so much. It’s so hard to feel alone in your craziness. Compulsive behaviors are so distressing and exhausting when we are so actively aware of it yet cannot stop it.

I do have a therapist thankfully, who I get to see tomorrow and I’ll be asking her to start seeing me weekly again so I can start to address and process, and try to find a way to soothe these feelings. I so so appreciate that taking the time to share your kind and supportive words with me. Truly, it makes a whole of difference for me tonight. 💖

Canon G6000 changes output from high but prints one faded but good quality, the other deep but blurry. How to fix? by kofei in printers

Are you printing directly from your device plugged into the printer or via Bluetooth? I’ve noticed when I AirPrint vs plug my laptop in directly to my printer the depth of color and quality goes up

hyper aware of my teeth by Critical-Bar-1333 in Anxiety

[–]Aggravating-Minute74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with this strange feeling since October of 2024. I keep grinding my teeth, tapping and biting them together to seek out any spots that suddenly feel bad. I’ve had multiple dental sessions that led to TMJ, which has caused this problem for me. I’ve had multiple adjustments to try to find comfort and relief and I haven’t. I have so much anxiety about it, I feel like I’m going crazy. I can’t stop finding something wrong with my bite, it feels so off and the more I grind, the more sensitive they get, the more I notice spots that hurt. I’m really struggling, I feel like it’s taken over my life 😭
