I know that I have a problem with TMJ,
just not sure if my problem is worsening.
I have never been treated for TMJ, but
symptoms point to it. My dentist does not
know anything about it so he just tells me
to see a specialist but my insurance will
not pay for TMJ related problems.
My symptoms have always been a tired
feeling in my face, clicking jaw,
misaligned bite, receding lower jaw, but
now my face is even looking kind of
deformed in the way that on the sides of
my face near my ears is enlarged and when
I open my mouth there are 2 places, one
right in front of my ears and the other at
my temples that stick out severely, almost
like a sideways letter m on either side of
my face. I don't know how to describe it
accurately other than it is getting larger
and worse. Has anyone ever heard of this?
Maybe I have something other than TMJ?
Any help or ideas are appreciated. Thank
you.

unfortunately most insurance companies
exclude tmj.
i do have an idea for you pm me. i think
that this is definatly from the tmj--i
could be wrong but often the symmetry of
the face is effected by the tmj. pm me and
we can talk:)
