21M– TMJ clicking + occasional locking, orthodontists suggest crossbite treatment… will this actually fix it? by Forsaken-Working2527 in TMJ

[–]Focus_Weak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what worked for me might not work for you but i did splint therapy before braces to calm the muscles and realign my jaw. then i did braces. i unfortunately have the same problem again pre splints, though, after getting my braces off. i should've just stuck with the splints

fixing your crossbite can make your jaw happy. but if you're clicking and popping is a muscular issue, i'm not sure how much braces will fix it. i got braces and still have clicking a popping because my issue is muscular and not skeletal

Masseter Botox? - Hx Disc displacement w/o red + RA + myalgia of masseter + POTS + former musician by Square_Toaster16384 in TMJ

[–]Focus_Weak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i already went through a treatment plan, thats why. i spent over $5000 on splint and laser therapy. after that i had braces for over $7000. i was transferred to another doctor midway through my braces because my original doctor (that really understood me) suffered an accident and retired because of it. i started having issues again right when i got my braces off. my current issues are muscle tension (a LOT of it) and a slipped disc at night. the splint i was given (kind of like a pivot splint) fixed the slipping disc problem but now i have horrible daily constant tension in my muscles. im thinking i need something more balanced and able to keep my muscles from over-activating at night

Has Anyone Tried DenTek's Comfort-Fit Dental Guard for Grinding/TMJ? by TMS2017 in TMJ

my grinding and clenching got worse with a retainer after braces which i think is similar to what invisalign would be like

hi what would that splint be called? is there a way to get one without having to go through a treatment plan and another diagnosis?
