[liezljfk]

Yung TMJ specialist ba nagsusuggest din if you need braces?

[claudz03]

^ yes sis. after mo mag phase one treatment.

[claudz03]

Can anyone share a clinic somewhere within Novaliches QC?
I badly need a tmj specialist kasi parang lumalala na yung tmj prob ko.

try dr. rely ferrer. classmate ko sya sa tmj class, i think infront or near sm fairview clinic lang nya.

^ yes sis. after mo mag phase one treatment.

I see. Kasi gusto ko sana magpabraces. Pero feeling ko may TMJ ako. Dati kasi masakit lagi jaw ko tas may clicking sound sa tenga ako. That was a year ago. Sa EENT ako nagpaconsult kasi di ko pa naman alam kung ano. May prescription tas gumaling naman ako.
Tas mga ilang months, laging may headache at hilo ako. So padoctor ulit ako, vertigo naman. Then lately super parang migraine, nisuggest na magpaneurologist ako. Pero someone here suggested na magpacheck sa TMJ specialist. Tas kahapon naliligo ako, try ko pagopen mouth wide tas make faces, naramdaman at dinig ko na naman yung clicking sound. sa right banda. before sa left sya. pero in normal days walang kakaiba. Next week pa siguro ako makapagpaconsult sa TMJ specialist. Wah. Braces muna sana.

^sis wag nega thinking.. hehe think positive na hindi ka magkaka tmj dysfunction after your braces. kaya malaking factor na wag mag relapse teeth nyo. suot lagi ang retainers and continuous check up with your ortho.

^Pa-PM rin po sa akin. Kasi gusto ko magpabrace pero makakasagabal ba if may TMJ? Thanks!

Pa treat ka muna ng TMJ sis. Sometimes ortho may worsen your condition..

[liezljfk]

Haven't receive any PM yet.

Any TMJ specialist near Makati or Mandaluyong? Nasa Malolos kasi dentist ko and I need to do check up today. Kagabi nag-click yun right jaw ko at pagkagising ko my right ear is hurting bad. Natatakot ako na diko na kayanin hanggang next week na pagbalik ko sa Malolos ipa-check up pa.

Sis, You may want to do some hot compress on the affected site. The moist heat lengthens the muscle fibers, taking the jaw muscle out of spasm.
Stop chewing gum and eating chewy foods like taffy and jerky. You need to watch for repetitive movements of the jaw, such as biting your fingernails or the end of your pen. You dont want to put stress on that joint, it also helps to take small bites when you eat, avoid opening wide when you eat or yawn, and keep from holding the phone in the crook of your neck. And stay away from monosodium glutamate, which promotes muscle spasms. S

tress is always taken out on the teeth, so psychological stress is strongly linked with TMD, And when you have TMD, you may panic because of the pain and stiffness.

[sapphire201]

hey, i would like to ask how much [textspeak!] tmj treatment ninyo?

also, can someone please pm me the contact details of tmj dentists?

  thanks in advance!

hi.  can you pls refer a good TMJ specialist south Metro Manila (Las Pinas, Alabang, Paranaque)?  I have been to some dentists already, but am not satisfied with how they explain the problem, the whole process, etc. am thinking of going to dra. fandialan, pero medyo malayo kasi from my place yung clinic nya.  my tmj is bad already. i don't experience jaw locks or migraines, pero all other symptoms mentioned are there, including bad posture   and the worst is that my jaw is obviously sliding towards the right ("tabingi na ang mukha ko).  my jaws are not like this before, pa-grabe ng pa-grabe yung pag side nya, nakakatakot. that is why i am looking for a good, experienced tmj dentist sana. thanks

^Hi Jan888, I am a patient of Doc Claudz. I am not sure kasi if pare pareho yung charge, pero definitely not 60k, may dp pero i pay 1.5k per visit. Nasa phase 1 palang ako, which is wearing the appliance. after this yung braces.

Hi, i have TMJ problem also. Tapos may braces ako ngayon. Di ko alam yung about sa phases, pero wala namang appliance na nilagay sa akin, diretcho na agad yung brackets. Paexplain naman po. Di kasi ako aware sa ganito. I just rely on my ortho:) TIA:)

Same concern here. Pahelp mga sis.. Thanks!

[liezljfk]

May appliance na rin ako ngayon kasi after x-rays and tests, positive sa TMJ. Ouch.
So yung mga nararamdaman ko noon, symptoms na pala sya. Kasi nakailang punta na ako sa EENT before dahil parang nagriring sa left ear ko parati. Tas yun yung left jaw nga and may clicking and sliding. sa right clicking lang. Gusto ko pa naman magpabrace. Sabi after 2 months of wearning appliance, check daw if may improvement at if pwede na magbrace.

[hanshellite]

Una ba dapat ang appliance bago ang braces? kasi ako i have tmj problem din, tapos sabi ng ortho ko nung una, lalagyan daw ako ng appliance pero until now wala pa rin, derecho na ako braces nung december... Ignorant naman kasi ako sa mga ganyan eh. Please help!

[liezljfk]

^I think so. Kaya ata may phases ang treatment. pero depende rin siguro sa diskarte ng ortho. dati ko pa gusto yung braces pero di ko masimulan kasi nga i've read na pag may TMJ, it can worsen it. So now gusto ko muna matreat/magtherapy for TMJ tapos saka ang braces.

[snix]

^case to case basis yata..

ako naman i had braces for four years actually dahil sa kanya kaya ako nagkaron ng tmj..mali yung naging procedure..kaya pala laging masakit yung sa may temples ko and sa may clicking sound

so ang ginawa last year sa ibangdentist bnrace nanaman ako o diba suki ako ng brace pero yung lower lang para mabilis pagpantay ng bite..yung bagang ko yung target ng braces tapos splint sa taas..since nagbraces naman na ako a mabilis naman yung paggalaw ng sa bagang ko inalis na after 4 months..ngayon splint na lang for both upper and lower tapos adjust adjust hanggang macorrect yung bite..

the good thing is wala na yung painful clicking sound and kahit kumain ako matitigas hindi nako hirap
