Treatments for TMJ Disorder???

Question

I've had this for about 3yrs now... im 21... and the docs say that i have one of the worst cases of TMJ... very severe case... anyone know of or have had or tried/experienced... any at all treatment methods for fixing/curing this.... or even any ideas/remedies to ease the pain and everything that comes along with it...

I get jaw pain, ear pain, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, SEVERE migraines that literally PARALYZE me...I clench BAD ( have tried bite splints,.... i destroy them ) i have ground my teeth down flat...to where i can't even bite off or barely make a tooth bite mark into something as simple as a slim jim type thing.

PLEASE anything... I can't handle this any longer... as much as i've tried to not let it.. it has put everything in my life to a big screeching halt!!

has any one tried reconstructive "surgery" on your bite... pretty much crowns and bridges and re aligning your whole bite/teeth... pretty much a brand new mouth/teeth???

Answer 1

I took Dental Lab class and have a mild case of a TMJ  disorder myself. There are many different ways to ease the pain of the TMJ and from what you have described, it's pretty serious. Here's a website that gives self-care or medication treatment for TMJ. Hope this helps!
