Oral Surgeon Wants me to have MRI For TMJ?
Well ill give you my own personal experience.I’ve had TMD/TMJ for 3 years now.When i started getting signs of this my jaw would just pop and feel very unconfortable.Then months after my jaw started getting lock,basically i couldnt move it at all when this happened so i had to unlock it myself,right after that the pain became so intense that they had to send me to a maxilofacial surgeon.He was going to do surgery on me,but it cost 15,000 dollars and my insurance didnt cover this.Desperate i started looking for other doctors that did treatments without surgery and well i found a doctor.He has done miracles for me! Im on a 2 year treatment now with appliances,1 for the day and night.Before you go wear a night guard go find a dentist,not just any dentist but one that specializes on this type of disorders because most dentists wont cure this.Sometimes nightguards will worsen the problem,this is why i tell you to go visit the doctor before you get a night guard.The dentist i was with before
