Re: swelling 4 weeks after oral surgery

I am not a dentist but I think that it is relatively easy to see if the extraction site is infected. Look up infection, it is almost always manifested in bleeding, pus and significant pain. Your...

First, I want to say that of course it is disappointing. You specifically requested one thing and got another. This is frustrating. However, mistakes do happen and now you need to think of what would...

paulfoel
I am not sure if gum disease can cause pain behind the eyes. It may, I just never heard of that. Did you research the TMJD?

Dear MountainReader,

Re: New to all this/ still waiting to see a specialist.

Thanks for your support and kind words, pamo810! I am surely not giving up. Long story short, my problems started after a dental bridge. Teeth started to shift and sure enough, it did not take long...

Re: Wisdom tooth extraction and TMJ

I have heard of many stories that wisdom teeth removal caused or aggravated the TMJ symptoms, BUT there are probably many more that caused no problems. The thing is, nobody can guarantee you...

Re: Finally ready to begin Phase II..any advice?

Expect some soreness in the next few days. My teeth were the most sore about 4-7 days after I had my braces put in. Jaw sliding to the side is NO GOOD, definitely let your dentist know. Any bite...

Re: Finally ready to begin Phase II..any advice?

MountainReader
just several of the questions from personal experience.
1. Do I have any skeletal dental problems that cannot be addressed by braces? Are extractions needed?
2. Is my bite ok? Any...

Re: New to all this/ still waiting to see a specialist.

I was thinking, it is likely that you - like me - have some muscular TMJ disfunction, that is caused by something else. So it is almost pointless to treat the TMJ alone without addressing the...

Re: splints: do things temporarily get worse before they get better? And for how lon

bijou22
unfortunately, bite splints don't work for everyone. However, you definitely need longer than 10 days to make that conclusion. I would suggest you give it at least a month or two before you...

Re: Alf Appliance

jeanharlow
"maxilla canted to the right" means that the right side of your upper jaw is lower than the left side of your upper jaw. Mine is canted to the left, by the way, and this is causing the...

Re: New to all this/ still waiting to see a specialist.

I think it is a very good decision from your side. Wearing it as much as possible will minimize your teeth shifting while you are waiting to see the TMJ dentist.
As our cases seem somewhat similar,...

Re: Going on 2 weeks, I may have TMJ, is this normal?

From what you said, you might be lucky enough to have TMJ that is likely to go away on its own. Use cold or heat pads (whatever helps/feels better), ibuprofen, and do not open your mouse wide. Try to...

Re: Jaw/Muscle deformity from TMJ?

Dianatlol, your pain will NOT come back, because your jaw is now in a stable position.

Re: Are these all related to TMJ?

I think it very well might be TMJ. When your jaw gets misaligned, you feel like your bite is off. And the jaw position influences the position of your first neck vertebra C1 that causes the neck and...
