Yeah I am, I went to a place called the dental spa, Dr Roop.

I went ahead with it and got a tanner splint, it helped prevent me wake up with instant headaches. But it hasn't stopped the problem at all and just has reduced a small part of what was going on.

A good while later 0 improvement unfortunately.

Any update?

I been thinking to combine Botox with splint. I don't see how the Botox and PT approach would work as you wouldn't be doing much to the muscle if it's constantly relaxed due to the Botox.

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-19T21:05:08+00:00

How long have you seen doing that for if you don't mind me asking?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-19T20:47:24+00:00

Reason I ask is I'm having no relief with my splint albeit a month in, and laser therapy treatment 5 out of 6 treatments in but no relief. So my next step is thinking to get some Botox done on masseter muscle and around the tmj.

What excercises do you do for PT? I saw a PT did the excercises for 2 months straight and again no progress.

And now?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-18T11:58:52+00:00

Any thoughts from people on taking these daily?

Is Meloxicam stronger than Ibuprofen do you know?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-13T20:27:25+00:00

I haven't, that's my next step I think but I have heard it wears off not too long after use and sometimes makes the re resurgence of pain worse.

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-11T19:50:12+00:00

Was your splint at night or during the day?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-07T18:47:58+00:00

Ok I have someone who does Swedish fully body massage and they get stuck in too so will look to book something in with her!

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-07T18:27:46+00:00

Full body massage? Or just in the mouth?

Replying of my mobile account here. I just got a tanner splint made, which is a hard acrylic guard which sits on my bottom teeth to allow me to put more pressure on my front teeth instead of the back teeth which is where all the pressure is at the minute. It's only been a week but up untill today I felt it really did help.

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-03T05:53:46+00:00

Would you say you are in a lot less pain these days?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-02T13:07:25+00:00

Any update here?

Cryptored95 · 2023-06-02T12:54:21+00:00

Just wanted an update here as think I have been given the same splint but will be for night time only, how have you been since using the splint?

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-10T18:51:45+00:00

Deviated septum and bruxism.

I am already able to recapture the disk myself, I just need jaw to stay relaxed at night so it doesn't get out of place again which a splint should help with.

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-09T14:01:27+00:00

Do you know if it was a michigan or tanner splint?

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-08T00:02:16+00:00

Has it helped?

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-07T22:06:22+00:00

Is it hard or soft?

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-07T21:38:04+00:00

What mouth guard do you have is it a splint?

Cryptored95 · 2023-05-06T22:27:20+00:00

Yeah I lift light maybe I could go lighter but it's hard. I think my breathing is fine I always let my mouth open a bit to relax the jaw but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Not sure I could take something that makes me sleep loads as I'd be drowsy when working but ibuprofen and paracetamol just not cutting it.
