I had all my wisdom teeth out and am
getting invisalign?
one side of my jaw has been giving me
problems since I got my wisdom teeth out 2
weeks ago and now I am very afraid the
invisalign is going to make things even
worse.
is there a type of doc just for TMJ?

yes there are several types of docs that
treat tmd. however you may want to give
yourself a good month before doing any
more work to your mouth. If you fear that
you have tmd you may want the doc treating
the tmd to do the invisilign.
many people that dont have tmd have
trouble with their jaw after having wisdom
teeth pulled. that is normal. if it doesnt
go away that is where you should start
wondering. if you need to find a good
doctor for tmd let me know and i can get
you a really good one. I know lots of
them.
if you do have tmd you should get the tmd
taken care of before you do invisilign.
thes are very similiar to braces and can
cause tmd or make it worse.
