TMJ Syndrome?


Question:
Is there any way to get rid of tmj.
I've tried every thing from mouthgards(which make it worse by the way) to relaxation.
What do I do??

Answers:
I don't know if there are any real ways to get rid of TMJ besides.

I went to a TMJ specialist when I was in high school when I was first diagnosed with having TMJ. She prescribed me an appliance that I wore full time for a while, then only at night. After that wasn't working, I wore braces for a while which helped, but ended up being short-lived.

Currently I am back on an appliance that fits over my bottom teeth and it seems to be working fine. I put it in before I sleep and take it out in the morning. The only supposed permanent fix would be surgery.

Hope this helps.
