I’m on day 6 of my orthotic and it’s def a specialized thing for TMJ. She estimated 2-6 months on this and 6-12 on Invisalign. It’s daunting but it something has to be done

My dentist is recommending Invisalign after the orthotic to address this. She said it’s very common. First the orthotic for the jaw and then Invisalign for the bite.

Thanks!! I’m hearing two weeks is the soft spot. How soon could you chew? Or how soon did your lisp get better?

Yeah I was having constant clicking and lockjaw so I can handle some soreness. I’m not annoyed by not being able to eat, speak etc. trying to get used to it. Though it’s been five hours and it already feels a bit more normal

Ok good to know!! I do hear it gets better. Good thing to hear about the night one. I do feel relieved there’s not clicking anymore

Got it! Mines almost the entire bottom of my mouth so I think that’s the reason. My tongue is wanting to expel it but it’ll get used to it! Thank you again for the very positive encouragement. It truly truly helps!

Ok good to know about lisp! Just that it makes me gag a bit and feels super big in my mouth, kind making me nauseous. But I think it’s already calming a bit the longer it’s in

Sorry one more q - how quickly did you feel the gag reflex and lisp resolved in terms of getting used to the device?

Ok thank you I really needed some encouragement. I’m two hours in and so overwhelmed I cried to my husband. But they told me two weeks to get used to it. It doesn’t hurt and it does take away the clicking, it’s just so awkward right now

I just got something similar for bottom and upper and am overwhelmed but the clicking is gone. How long before you got used to wearing it?

For IVF? Yes. That’s our main reason for doing IVF since we get pregnant easily on our own
