QUOTE(danny_sp15 @ Mar 2 2013, 10:15 PM) anyway, nothing serious TS. if u notice, the click only happens if u open ur jaw too wide. and if u open ur jaw a bit deviated to the left or right (like how a camel chew food), the click reduces or disappear. dont let it click too much if possible, and it will be reduced as time goes by. i used to have TMD too, so bad that one day the ligament just locks and i cant even open my mouth. it gets worse when u keep inducing the clicking urself (e.g. play around with ur jaw, open n close even when not eating), the ligament swells up, causing the pain to become worse and the click also. hmm, so are you still having it now? if not how did you cure yours? by wearing braces or? :S |

The guard/splint (usually wear 24hrs 7days for a month time) is to guild the condylar part of ur jaw to the displaced disc. so ur jaw will be either forwarded or shift to the left or right and maintain at the position for 24/7 until disc join to condylar. The next review when u remove the splint, ur jaw back to own position. If u don hear the pop sound anymore or no more soreness it means the condylar already bring the disc back to own position, if not u will hv to continue wear the splint for further observation. |

(i know its like saying i dont care about my body, but its just "popping" right?) |
