Sign of improvement from tmj
After nearly 2 years of my treatment for tmj disorder My orthodontist has noticed that my upper and lower molar teeth are going to touch with each other. Also now I am becoming able to chew food with more better way. Are these the signs of improvement from tmj disorder? If the treatment of tmj disorder via splint and braces do not work for me or make my condition worse then what symptoms I will experience? Please help...
