Hi,

I've been suffering from tinnitus and dizziness/ cracking noises in the ears for over 4 years,doctors have no idea what is causing this. I had MRI of the brain recently.Everything OK. Will it show on brain MRI if Ihad the TMJ disorder? or I need to get special x-ray of this joint alone?

you need special testing done by a Neuromuscular dentist. I am not sure if you have any in your area but at least start with a phone call to your dentist and ask for a referral for a dentist who specially treats tmj.
good luck

Hi antares & Welcome!

Don't know if this will be of any help to you, but here are a list of some TMJ guys in Australia:

Dr. James Douglas (in Toowong)
Dr. Richard Heymann (in Graceville)
Dr. Peter Agnew (in Brisbane)
Dr. Derek Mahony (in Randwick NSW)

Thank you all for the information. I will get in touch with one of the TMJ doctors and maybe get some answers this time.
