. I went to see a tmj specialist in toronto the other day and am wondering if I should get a second opinion.
For the past 3-4 years I've had a tension headache around my forehead area. Also, the past four months or so I've also had chronic mild dizziness that lasts pretty well all day. Visually, you can see that my upper jaw is slightly imbalanced (the right side is higher than the left and pops when I open my mouth). I also get pain in my neck and hips which I think are related to the jaw being unbalanced.
Anyway, I went to see a tmj specialist in toronto, and she told me that there is no evidence that jaw placement causes symptoms like headaches and dizzinness and that my headaches aren't related. She said I should focus on not grinding my teeth and should take Yoga to keep relaxed. She also said not to use my NTI appliace as it will just cause more problems.
What do you guys think? Has anyone gotten jaw surgery for a jaw imbalance and gotten relief of their symptoms because of it??
Thanks
