Cally,

There seem to be a variety people to see, I'm not sure whether you're looking for a dentist, OS....or what?? I read your other post which you said that you were seeing an oral surgeon. I'm not sure if this helps or not, but there is a Dr. Wesley Shankland in Columbus.

I just read your post and the follow up and I've heard of Dr. Shankland also. He has written books and is one of foremost experts on tmj that I know of. I;m actually surprised hes as close as he is, and I live in Pittsburgh myself and am considering seeing him myself. I've already started my orthodontics but I believe its good to have a seperate tmj doctor monitor the results as you get closer. He also has a website online and he is very well known like I said concerning tmj. Hope that helps, talk to you later.

Hi Cally...I think I posted to you once before? I am in Ohio too (GO BUCKS!) but in the SE area! I would suggest doing a search on the internet for your area! Good luck and good hunting! TC!
