Have you had/do you have TMJ? Have you had orthodontics to correct it and did it help?

I have been told I 'grind my teeth' by my Dentist. At 49 it has been going on a long time. Likewise I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so pain is pain. However, if I was told this years ago I would seriously seek help, last thing anyone wants is a Jaw Replacement. My Sister had one due to a accident years ago and they did not have MRI or CT back then so now has one jaw joint replaced, not a nice operation and is refusing to have the other side done, due to the experiences of the first operation. Get help and Good Luck.

It was braces that CAUSED mine in the first place. Make sure you get an ortho that knows what they're doing. I was told I would need a major oral surgery and about 2 more years of braces to fix mine.
