I was just wondering if you had tried a bite plate. I saw a few people mentioned it, I have to say when it's in my mouth my jaw pain goes away..and the whole side of my face feels better..I swear somedays i just want to wear it all the time when the pain is bad.

Sorry I can't help you with the surgery problem but please post if you decide to do it and how it went..we are all looking for help.

I just got diagnosed with this tmj misalignment, as I have tooth pain due to teeth grinding at night due to stress. (comes and goes w/stress levels). My dentist recommended a nighttime appliance which would gradually adjust to make it better. Perhaps you can look into this? I think someone else recommended it. It is more than night guard. It is therapeutic she says. $1000 and I don't yet know if insurance will cover it.

I wonder how many people have had their wisdom teeth removed that have TMJ. After I got my wisdom teeth removed is when it started for me. I talked to my dentist and he said it was possible while they were removing my wisdom teeth that they over stretched my mouth or left it open for too long which caused the muscles/joints to overstretch or pop out of place. Has anyone else had an operation such as this which gave them a case of TMJ afterwards?
