Hi!
I am wearing this new splint. It seems a bit big and bulky right now. It fits on my lower jaw and puts my jaw into the position it needs to be in. This position is nothing like the position I am used to. The Dr. (by the way, his name is D. Gary Wolford in St. Clair Shores MI, suggested by Sue) said that my jaw is off so much that he is going to have to do this gradually. His course of action for me is for me to get braces to try to align my jaw better. He is sending me to a dentist who has studied the mechanics of the jaw more than mose Orthodontists have. He told me that he is not sure if I will be able to recapture the disks through this or not. But he wants me to give this plan a try to hopefully avoid serious surgery which would include cutting the upper jaw and lenghthening it. (OUCH) He did say that there is a good chance I will need the disks surgically placed back if nothing else works first, but that he wants to try these things for a few years. Sue, I feel like you reccommending him to me was an answer to many prayers of mine! Thanks so much! I hope you are finding some relief too!
Wow, was that tens machine weird or what???
