[Bheza11]

Magkano po ba kung ipapa treatment po ang tmj? Magkano po ang down? Nasa stage palang po kasi ako ng pag aayos ng teeth ko.. May dentist na ko pero mukhang ndi nya kaya kung may tmj saka bago nya ako bunutan ng ipin hindi man lang muna ako nakapag pa xray.. Pls reply po.thanks

[snix]

Ako naman  done na with the splint braces na sana saglit lang kaya lang sana last year pako nakapagpabrace kaya lang oinagipunan ko pa hehe..

Im excited to see the results. Pero happy ako na wala ng pain yung sa may temple ko.. Though magastos atleast may bakikita na result

Onting tiis ganda pa kay doc claudz..

[munchyie_17]

looking for a cheap tmj specialist mga sis sa metro manila area. May kilala po ba kayo? yung jaw ko kasi nagcclick. 

[dr.smile]

Whats your budget munchyie_17? If i may ask..

It's me again. Naging tolerable yung pain ko for the past 2 months pero eto ulet. Feeling ko namamaga na naman yung right jaw ko. Lumilipat yung sakin nya sa left minsan. Whenever I turn my head, may nagki-click. Magkano po ba talaga ang treatment? To be blunt and honest, hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko financially. Anong option meron? Nalulungkot ako na naiiyak kasi I want to relieve the pain pero wala akong gamot. Ganito pala ang feeling na parang may chronic disease ka and wala kang pera pangpagamot. I just take alaxan or mefenamic to relieve the pain kahit papano. Parang one inch nalang ang kayang iopen ng mouth ko, dati naman bigger.

Sis baka ma overdose ka nang pain reliever masama yan. Mag pa consult ka kaya muna sa dentist nang government hospital baka may maibigay silang treatment pansamantala habang nagiipon ka.

[dr.smile]

Swt_fem. Thats sounds bad. Magoa consult ka na agad. If you need to borrow muna money to help your situation, you should.. It might get worse.. And end up with more expensive options..

Hi sis, try to contact my dentist Dr. Camille Ampong-Casas (09178835013). Baka matulungan ka niya kahit wala ka pang budget kasi kung di ka pa magpacheck-up lalo lang mag-worsen yung mga nararamdaman mo.

Hi Sis Iambex,

Ask ko lang po saan po yaan dentist mo? Dito po ako sa QC located sana po malapit lang siya. Gusto ko po kasi magpaconsult sana. Thanks

Hi doc,

I qoute this from another TMJ specialist;

Clicking (meaning a sudden popping sound), without any other associated symptoms, does not necessarily signify something is wrong with the temporomandibular joint.
Clicking of the temporamandibular joint tends to come and go. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it not.
TMJ therapy will not always eliminate the clicking sound.
Clicking is different from Crepitus.
Clicking refers to a "sudden pop" sound you hear whenever you open or close your mouth. You hear just 1 sound that comes then immediately disappears.

Crepitus refers to several, successive grating sounds. Imagine two pieces of soundpaper rubbing against each other. Crepitus, unlike clicking, most likely warrants examination.

If limitation of jaw movement ( meaning difficulty in opening, closing or side/lateral movements) and moderately tolerable to intolerable pain with or without clicking is noticed, a temporomandibular problem may be present.

How true is that? Kasi yung clicking lang naman talaga problem ko eh no pain or whatsoever, so kaya ako mag papatreat para mawala yung clicking but then the treatment does not guarantee that the clicking will be removed after the theraphy. Nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako.

Please comment.

I went to Dr. Camille Ampong-Casas earlier. I'm so happy I met her she's so approachable and todo explain siya. Tama si Sis Iambex she's so nice. wala akong nararamdaman na pains symptoms ko lang

-clicking
-migrane
-shoulder pain
-jaw pain
-back pain

Sa xray ko kasi yung ipin ko tabingi tabingi(due to braces before). Sa neck ako talaga nagworried kasi straight daw yun neck ko dapat pala naka arc yun. If napabayaan baka magtrigger ng disc problems pag older na ako. I didn't know connected din pala sa spine yung TMJ.

What is nice kay Dra. Camille wala siyang package price sa phase 1. It depends sa development mo so mas mabilis ang development mas onti babayaran mo. Sana sa phase 2 and phase 3 ganun din kasi we havent discussed pa kasi eh pag balik pa daw next week pag kinabit na niya appliance.

Thank you Sis Iambex sa recommendation mo ha. Gaanu katagal ang TMJ therapy ninyo? like phase 1 -phase 3

hello! nakita ko yung thread na to nung nagreresearch ako about tmd treatment.

ask ko lang kung meron sa inyo nirecommend ng dentist na ipabunot yung wisdom tooth? kasi mga 5 months na ako nagttreatment tapos ngayon yung dentist ko gusto ipabunot yung wisdom tooth ko sa right kasi nakaka-affect daw yun sa tmd.. pero nabasa ko na hindi nirerecommend yung pagtanggal ng wisdom teeth kasi sa mga reasearch hindi naman sya talaga nakaka-affect sa tmj. tapos yung iba nga mas lumala pa yung tmd after matanggal yung wisdom teeth nila. worried ako ngayon na ituloy yung pagbunot ng wisdom tooth ko kasi baka mas lumalala pa yung tmd ko. doc claudz and dr.smile, ginagawa po ba talaga yung pagbunot ng wisdom tooth as tmd treatment? thank you! 

[dr.smile]

Jamie9, yes, there are studies na nakakatulong sa tmj treatment ang pag tanggal ng widsom tooth. But your dentist has to be really good kasi medyo matagal ka naka nganga so masakit sa jaw pag matagal naka open ang mouth. Your dentist has to be efficient and good. Best is to go to s tmj specialist who does surgery kasi they would know how to care for your jaw better while removing your wisdom tooth or oral surgeon.

I'm currently undergoing TMJ therapy. Already on my 8th week of wearing splint. My doctor is Dr. Joyce Michelle Ambray-Reyes of Elijah Dental Specialists. Her clinic is in Robinsons Forum, Mandaluyong. She's also the dentist/owner of Dentaderm Clinic in Trinoma and Mother Ignacia branches. She's really good! Very pretty and super bait pa!
