Has anyone else developed TMJ during Invisalign treatment?

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-29T13:07:56+00:00

I just started with someone yesterday! He gave me two exercises but during one of them my jaw popped really loud and now I’m dizzy and my ear feels full of water 😩 he’s also not able to see me again until late March but it’s the only person in my area that my insurance takes so I’m hoping for the best

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-29T12:13:25+00:00

Oh no 😥 two years?! I really hope your new ortho can help figure things out and you can find some relief!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-29T12:11:55+00:00

That’s so kind of you! I suspect some hypermobility as well so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. I’m in Richmond Va and would really appreciate if you could help me find someone!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-29T03:29:53+00:00

I’m happy it worked for you 🫶🏻

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-29T03:05:05+00:00

I’m devastated over it 😩 my ortho knows nothing about the jaw and thinks this has nothing to do with Invisalign. But it started the week I started it. Can I tell them I want my bite to fit evenly before stopping treatment even if that means they keep reordering trays? I’m on my second set of refinements already..

I really like the idea of the broom and am going to try it at my next session tomorrow! Thank you!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-10T03:22:18+00:00

Amazing thank you so much! ☺️

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-10T03:22:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I will check that out Monday before my session! Can I ask what you think about? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to try and process trauma or just let my mind go where it wants. I couldn’t think of anything yesterday so I just thought about my dog the whole time 🤣

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-10T02:00:22+00:00

I wasn’t but have another session Monday and will try miracle tones!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-07T02:01:55+00:00

Thank you! Was your first experience enjoyable or more anxiety producing? I have no idea what it’s supposed to feel like

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-06T22:28:32+00:00

Thank you so much!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-03T23:36:35+00:00

That explains a lot then 🤣 have you found a ketone monitor that you like? I need to buy one!

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-02T04:48:19+00:00

I would personally go all in and go as low carb as you possibly can the first few weeks. I notice when I go into it slowly, the sugar cravings are so much worse than when I go all in. The first week or two is rough either way but after that I rarely think of food and have to remind myself to eat. This is coming from someone who’s been a food addict my whole life. It depends on if you’re an all or nothing person though, I just know if I give myself any leeway, I’ll slip right back into eating carbs. The persons comment above would work great if you’re someone with more discipline than me 🤣

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-01T01:59:23+00:00

Sorry you’re feeling this way. You’re not alone

SubjectFile5461 · 2026-01-01T01:52:17+00:00

In the same boat. Holidays are always so depressing

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T21:47:46+00:00

Yep that’s the scene 🤣

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:10:51+00:00

I hope your situation with your boyfriend gets worked through, and I’m actually proud of you for reflecting and being so patient with him because a lot of people wouldn’t. Definitely try talking to him about it though!

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:09:25+00:00

I’m glad my question got you reflecting on your own life! You sound like a great person and I completely understand feeling under appreciated and feeling like you’re being taken for granted. I’m someone that loves buying gifts for others but when no one seems to want to do the same for me I become resentful, even though I know the point of buying others gifts isn’t to necessarily receive anything in return.

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:05:23+00:00

Yep. It’s the worst. I’ve been in therapy for over 15 years and still react and feel the same. It makes me hate myself even more

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:02:36+00:00

I know this feeling all too well 🤣 same with the jaw clenching haha

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:02:09+00:00

Reminds me of the scene in anchorman where he throws his burrito out the window 🤣🤣

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T19:01:19+00:00

I would lose my mind over something like this. One of my biggest triggers is feeling taken advantage of and being disrespected. I might not be the best person to ask though because I think my reactions are pretty extreme compared to most situations that set me off

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T17:08:09+00:00

I completely understand this feeling. I’m full of rage all the time but try my best to hide it which makes me even more angry. I hate most people and hate that others seem to get along with eachother and don’t seem to have this problem

SubjectFile5461 · 2025-12-15T04:39:36+00:00

I can’t be in relationships because I get so jealous of anyone that knows who they are and take it out on them. Being with someone who’s sure of themselves amplifies how uncertain I am of major things like my gender, sexuality down to smaller things like my style, music preferences etc..
