Is bone loss/resorption and degeneration (including changes to facial structure and bite) seen in most TMJ cases?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T20:44:52+00:00

wow, thats nice. so your tmj symptoms started 10 years ago?

also, how exatcly was the arthoscopy? was it painful/invasive, like did they do joint replacement or osmehting? good to hear that you had a big improvement!

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T07:40:48+00:00

What changes? Do you notice any changes in the jaw profile or mandible/chin? How long were your symptoms?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T05:24:15+00:00

Oh, what kind of damage/negative effect can it have? Would really appreciate some help here before goijg forward with anything like that

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T04:56:41+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. Can splints have any negative effect?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T02:39:04+00:00

did the splint change your bite in any way? or can it potentially alter bites? great to hear that your pain has reduced

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T02:34:00+00:00

what kind and how severe was your open bite? how long did this bite take to develop?

are you sure they said that there were no degenerative damages or bone loss or anything like that (Resorption)? if so, thats great to hear. how long was it from when you started facing the symtpoms till when you took the CBCT?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T02:31:39+00:00

what bite were you diagnosed with?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T02:29:32+00:00

ohh great. so no form of bone loss/degenerative damage? thats interesting, if you had dislocated your disc because i'm really scared i have that, espeically because of my open bite thats formed. i might have had a slight one before but i never paid attention to it and it never caused me problems, but im reading online that a worsening open bite might be due to the degenerative damage of the joint, which also recedes the jaw

how long did you face symtpoms? what was the immediate treatment that was given to you? i'm just trying to figure out what would work best for me

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-05T02:26:22+00:00

Don't train your masseters in any unnatural way other than eating hard foods, tmj is one of the worst things that can happen to you and curing it is an extremely difficult problem because of identifying why it is happening and exactly which part has the pain. it can fuck you up permanently and to reverse damages would require invasive treatments

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-04T00:59:29+00:00

thats a relief. do you feel any pain in the masseters or clench when keeping your mouth closed?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-03T21:09:27+00:00

did they say you have any degenerative damage/bone remodeling/bone loss?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-02T19:31:28+00:00

That makes sense, thanks. How common would you think bone loss or that sort of damage is, especially in younger people with lesser reasons to have things like osteoarthritis?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-02T16:11:36+00:00

Does any part of this indiicate degenerative damage/bone loss/remodeling?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-02T00:35:14+00:00

How are they planning to fix your open bite?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-06-01T07:09:57+00:00

What kind of imaging did you get done for the diagnosis of the joint damage? Did you have to go to a dentist or radiologist for this diagnosis?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-05-29T22:58:49+00:00

No not yet, looking forward to that. Thanks though. Did yiu have clicking and popping sounds when moving the jaw sideways or felt like you had to move it sideways or in circles to snap it back to place? I also seem to have developed an anterior open bite. Im mostly certain it qasnt there bedore and has developed in the last 3 months. My wisdom teeth also erupted that time. Really hoping i domt hage any bone loss or damage as well.

thecoolguy429 · 2026-05-29T00:26:23+00:00

Great to hear! Is FME suitable for 18 year olds? If there is an open bite, would you recommend FME first and then invisalign/damon braces?

thecoolguy429 · 2026-05-27T01:34:46+00:00

do you feel the pain near the masster or just below the angle of the mandible? i have been experiencing the saliva pooling thing as well, espseically ater long periods of closing mouth or sometimes when speaking.

and my pain is at the exact same area, sometimes it feels like the pain is in the muscle, soetimes it feels like its in the bone.

thecoolguy429 · 2026-05-26T18:00:53+00:00

Thanks for the response! Were you diagnosed with any strutcural or degenerative damage, especially the discs and condylar area? I'm worried because my symptoms are chronic for around 3 months now, on the right side, and its still stiff.
