I have been diagnosed with tmj disorder on the right side of my jaw- luckily no pain, just popping- primarily stress caused. I am reluctant to get a bite splint because I am absolutely terrified (like grown woman, psychological, unsurmountable fear) of an invasive, holding of my head and restrictive diagnostic session. The thought literally brings me to tears. I cannot experience a doctor restricting the movement of my mouth and forcing the pop (i naturally "dodge" it unconsciously).

That said, I have heard of a relatively new technology called k7evaluation system which is supposed to be non-invasive. Has anyone had any experience with it? Any other non-invasive experiences? I'm interested in a diagnostic that would determine the position of my jaw and what position it needs to be in without tight or restrictive means.

Thanks very much for any insight, shoteka
