Hi, I was diagnosed with TMJ almost two years ago when my jaw started locking shut. Since then it's been a long hard road of pain. I was eventually fitted with a mouthpiece which was suppose to change my bite to allow my disk to slip back into place. At first, I took the mouthpiece out while eating, which I later found out I wasn't suppose to do. After stopping that for a few months (along with chiropractor and massage for my neck), my TMJ has significantly got better, is almost 90% improved. Now I have to get braces to make this bite permanent, because when I take the mouthpiece out now my back teeth don't touch. However, I am 19 years old, already had braces for 4 years earlier, and desperately DO NOT want braces! So I have been looking into iBraces (hidden braces behind your teeth). A few different orthodontists have told me that they treat alot of TMJ patients with iBraces. I was just wondering if anyone here has used the mouthpiece/braces method to treat their TMJ, ecspecially iBraces? Thanks!
