I have to say I was kinda impressed. As I sat there in the waiting room, I had to fill out this questionnaire on tmj symptoms, I was still skeptical at this point. The office was nice and neat and cheery. I was asked into the examining chair and he came in. He was very informative, he showed me all kinds of models of the tmj joint, and showed me how your bite affects the joint. I showed him the bite plate my general dentist gave me and he told me to not to use it and he was mad because he said if they don't know what they are doing they shouldn't have given it to me and that this can make my tmj worse. He did not rush me in and out and he listened to all my concerns and symptoms. He told me I had all the classic symptoms.
He then did some range of motion exam and told me that my bite is not aligned properly. He gave me a lot of brochures on the tmj and he said he's been working with tmj for 20 yrs, and he is on the american academy of craniofacial pain association.
I have to get an MRI next before he can make me a splint....so overall I was impressed.
