Hello everyone,
I'm curious, does any here know what exact Functional Jaw Orthopedics is all about? I personally know what it is, but i think a lot of you just don't have a clue. So i guess, my question is how many of you actually know what it is about? Not in great depth, but just the basics. I hope people will respond to this question.

wow, about 30 somewhat people view my post, and 1 actually posted. :D
To be frank, FJO is the path to recovery. This is why i asked how many of you know what FJO is.
Take care,

Actually - Old Pal- many people on this board know what FJO is. Their TMJ Specialists may have had a different name for it, but if you took the time to read over the old posts you would have seen that many have had the 2-phase treatment with the removable splints or exanders followed by a second phase of permanent othodontics (either braces, equilibriation, crowns...).
The majority of these people are well-educated and well-informed patients.
Please don't asssume that a complex condition such as this can be categorically treated in one similar fashion. Offer support. Offer help. Stop with the condescending attitude.
These are people who require your help...not a self-serving lecture.

Actually......I know of quite a few that saw FJO's and weren't helped in the least.....some had gotten worse.

Great that you guys know. I'm not being condescending, i'm just trying to help because a lot of people still don't know. But this i don't get, if FJO cures "tmj," (and i think you all know that) why are you all still suffering?
Which FJO doctors have those people been to? they must not be good doctors.

I don't think that I've been condescending in the least. Only agreeing that people need to seek out a dentist that studies various methods of treatment and not only one. (Thus the quote.."The more the merrier')
You're right, some FJO's are not good doctors. Unfortunately, I can't name any names.....otherwise it would be libelous.

In all seriousness, i think for those that are having tremendous recurring headaches (tmj), should do a little more research on FJO because i swear to God it will help you to get to a normal life.
