My jaw first locked up last spring. Before this I was told that I was too stressed, get a splint and have $25,000 of reconstruction done, get another splint and have braces, and finally get an MRI and see an oral surgeon. Well, I put that off because I had to save for the money. Now a week ago, my other jaw locked and the surgeon I went to see basically called me stupid and told me it was too late. I am finally getting MRI on Tuesday. I have virtually no pain . One jaw eventually loosened after five months. The other jaw is very tight. Is thereany hope? Thank you ahead if you have any advice.
