TMJ disorder?

Question:

Does anyone else suffer from this and what do you do for relief?

Answers:
Yes!! You can go to the dentist to have them use what is called a TENS unit - or you can get one prescribed if your insurance covers it. It hurts so much - I know.

The TENS unit is these little electrodes that have settings and different kinds of pulses and beats and they help with nerve damage and TMJ - it helped me - talk to your dentist and feel better! =)

You need to see your dentist for professional help and if they don't specialize then they should refer you to the oral surgeon

i was stabbed in the face and dislocated my jaw which resulted in TM i ended up having to go to the dentist and received some sort of electrical therapy for the muscles and i had to sleep with an acrylic dental appliance. i ended up losing it and had to buy something to replace it. i went to dick's and bought one of those mouthpieces that the football players use and it seemed to work .... you need to try one of those.

theres a device you can get that you wear at night, like a guard to keep you from clenching. i have braces now, but when i was diagnosed with TMJ they told me the reason was because my jaw was out of alignment and I would clinch at night, causing pain later in the day. Heres a link to one product:
