Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2007TMJ pain from braces?
I started ortho treatment from August 2005. Starting from sometime in March 2007 when my ortho started to correct my bite, I had TMJ pain on the left side. It persisted for some 1 or 2 months. Some time in April, this pain is gone on the left side, but soon I started to have TMJ pain on the right. Normally, I don't feel any pain, but the pain is very bad if I yawn. Chewing/biting does not seem to cause the pain. Is this from the ortho treatment? Any big concern? Thanks. It is from muscle spasm. You probably clench at night.

I also quite often have neck pains from stress. I never know if I grind/clench teeth at sleep. How do I treat this TMJ pain?

I am back home but have hardly been *at* home since. Busy, busy, busy. Whew! And about that "TMJ" thing... you're so correct in beginning at the beginning! There is no such "diagnosis" called "TMJ". But, I think the person who started the thread had a complaint of "TMJ pain" ... which is not the same! Right? If the person wanted to have a discussion... he should have piped in by now. So I figure ... why bother going beyond what Newbie and D have done? ;-) Webby > Dyslexia. ;-) .taht enod, ereht neeB ;-) D > > Dyslexia. ;-) > > .taht enod, ereht neeB > > ;-) > D .oot eM W Whta deos thsi theda mean?

The answer to your question depends upon "theda" defined. Could it be that an "r" is missing?

I'm curious about what your orthodontist says about this pain and "how to treat" it. If I missed a post with this info, I'm sorry. I've been offline for a week. Could you either repost or reply to my question? Thanks, Webby |
