Hi GenDen,
How is your treatment going? Are you still fighting the muscles, or have they surrendered yet?
I read a post where you talked about your dentist doing a great job and that there was enough room for the disc to go back.....but, if it doesn't that's o.k.? I am concerned about going through all this treatment and still having a displaced disc.....but since I'm almost 50, I've had a bad bite for a long time and the joint is not going to heal overnight
How long have you been in your current splint therapy? When are you starting phase II? I've been in my splint for 4 months. my doctor uses the same treatment that yours uses. What exactly does your splint look like? Mine is a wire with splint material on both sides of the lower jaw. My doctor is repositiioning my bite and bringing me forward. When he is done, I'll have some crowns/bridges to hold the new bite in position. Are you having good results GenDen? I found a good massage therapist and chiropractor to help me through the treatment.
It helps to hear from people that are having good results. I hope you read this post, as I haven't seen you on here in a while.
