I've been dealing with horrible tmj for over a year now. I've been going to physical therepy for a couple months now and it has helped. Tonight I was pushing on my left jaw like I sometimes do to make it feel better. It made the most horrible sound as if my jaw broke. My wife even turned to look. Immedietely my teeth actually fit together!! First time in over a year. Has anyone ever had this happen? Will it stay? Should I still wear the splint or will it harm at night.

I am so scared it will pop back out. Wow, that was crazy. I seriously thought it was broken until I started feeling around and closing my teeth together.

Thanks for any advice. I'll be sure to pass on my pt exercises if this is what led to this and it stays.
