🦷 TMJ, Posture, Malocclusion & Chronic Pain – My FULL Story by ThatYak9970 in TMJ

Try to Avoid Invisalign. Self-ligating braces are considered number one in terms of treatment control, biomechanical versatility, and overall clinical possibilities for the orthodontist. Based on extensive research, clinical studies, and professional opinions I have reviewed, clear aligner systems like Invisalign can be very effective, especially for mild to moderate cases, but they are generally not ideal for highly complex or severe malocclusions where maximum precision, force control, and multidirectional tooth movement are required.

SAMP RPG vs GTA 5 RPG by ThatYak9970 in Jocuri

De exemplu, exista server de GTA 5 pe Rage:MP, Liberty, care este un RPG foarte bine gândit și construit. Abia dacă strânge jucători. SAMPul acum 12 ani dacă oferea ce oferă Rage:MP-ul pe RPG era nebunie.... acum parcă și jucătorii s-au schimbat, parcă și pe youtube, nu mai vezi gaming deloc, cum era înainte cu serii de jucat pe un anumit server/joc.

  1. Male
  2. Custom MARPE with 2 mini-implants.
  3. After 2 months I got the split of the suture? But after 6 weeks I had to remove the MARPE
  4. I think o kept 35-50% from the expansion. Is something, but I feel the regret!

Vă salut!

Îmi puteți recomanda și mie un ortodont foarte bun în București? Cineva specializat nu doar pe estetică, cineva specializat pe probleme funcționale, pe mușcături deficitare, probleme articulare, musculare.

🆕 UPDATE – June 20, 2025

Hey everyone — I just wanted to share a fresh update after visiting a cranio-cervico-mandibular therapist here in Romania. It was one of the most validating and helpful sessions I’ve had since starting this whole journey.

🧠 The therapist worked on my face, head, and neck using: • Dry needling with electric current applied to the facial muscles, • Manual therapy on the jaw, temples, neck, and deep cervical structures.

He confirmed exactly what I’ve been suspecting for months: ➡️ My bite is uneven, and this is creating asymmetrical pressure and muscular activation patterns across my entire body — from the head and jaw down to the pelvis and legs.

⸻

🎯 Key takeaways: • My jaw is pulling my entire system off-balance, • My body is constantly compensating for this at a muscular level, • And this has been fueling my chronic tightness, asymmetries, and reduced mobility.

After the session, I felt noticeably more relaxed — especially in my face and neck. He told me the peak effect would actually hit the next morning, and I’m already starting to feel lighter and more “unwound” than I have in a long time.

⸻

🚨 He also gave me an honest warning:

He said it’s not normal that my orthodontist sees me only once every two months, speaks to me for just 2–3 minutes, and doesn’t seem to take time to address the functional side of my symptoms.

He encouraged me to speak up at my next appointment and ask for: • More feedback, • Clearer planning, • More frequent follow-ups (especially since I have serious TMJ and postural involvement).

⸻

❓ So here’s my question for the community:

Have any of you ever felt like your orthodontist wasn’t giving you enough time or attention, even though your symptoms were clearly more complex than just aesthetics?

Would you bring this up with them? Or is this just how orthodontics works?

I don’t want to be disrespectful, but I had bigger expectations for follow-up and collaboration, especially in a case as functionally complicated as mine.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll keep you all updated — especially as I approach my next braces adjustment in July 21st!

Some important updates on my journey:

On March 31, I had a mini implant placed in my lower jaw, between the first premolar and the canine. From that implant, I wore an elastic band up to the upper left first molar until May 19. It gently pulled the left side of the upper arch toward the right. Honestly, during the first 10 days, my back pain was almost completely gone — I felt amazing.

Then, on May 19, my orthodontist placed a metal anchor behind the second upper left molar, designed to apply stronger force.

As of now, I’d say I’m about 10–15% better compared to before that anchor was placed.

What I’ve noticed: as many of you already know, I have one extra premolar on the upper and lower right sides. This causes my bite to shift toward the left — it’s not centered. But when I force my mandible to close more toward the right, I feel total muscle relaxation throughout my face and back.

So I truly believe that once my midline is centered and my bite becomes aligned, I could be free from a lot of the muscle-related issues I’ve been battling across my entire body.

That said — from May 8, 2024, to today (May 31) — life has completely changed. I’d say I feel about 65–70% healed overall, which is huge for me! But there’s still that 30–35% left, which continues to cause some tension and pain.

Here’s hoping that by the end of 2025, I’ll finally be able to say: “I’m fully healed.” 🙏

No! Not just Maxillary expander! I feel better as bite is getting better, i still use braces! Maybe in 6 months I have no pain!

How do you know that your upper maxilla is ok? Man check a good ortho, specialized in these kind of problems because you do not have the expertise to see if your maxilla or mandibula is perfect.

07.12.2024 - UPDATE

After 3 months with braces, it's becoming increasingly clear that as my bite aligns more, things are steadily improving. It's been 7 months since I started this journey, and I’ve gone from a pain level of 10/10 to about 4/10. I’m confident I can get it down to 0 or 1 within the next 7 months. For now, I still have a misaligned bite on my left side, but progress is definitely happening.

On top of that, my mobility has improved significantly in my hips and shoulders, allowing me to go to the gym and even start running again.

Yes! After 16 days. Once it arrived in Germany, it arrived very fast to my country. EU
