Hi all,
Kind of curious here. Did anyone have TMJ complications after surgery? Did you have issues before or no?
I'm a year out and my doctor said I have overloaded discs and I'm grinding my teeth at night. I'm wearing a custom fitted night guard now to prevent this (which was probably caused by s**tty orthodontics and some condylar resorption).
Clicking and popping and some pain on the left side--never had any issues before.
Trying to see if it's common. Research says yes.
-
what exactly mechanism causes TMJD in your case ?
I have TMJD (not typical) after zygomatic bone reposition - no issues before - even no single symptom
in my case it's compressed disc or some problem with muscles
do you have constantly deviated jaw postop ?
-
Have a feeling it's the muscle
-
you talking about you or me ?
what about jaw deviation? do you have ? i have constant deviation - doesnt matter if i open or close mouth.. strange
what about you ? no deviation ?
has your occlusion changed ?
reduced mouth opening ?
-
Yes yes and yes all those
-
i do not have clicking in the joints....
-
I am having the same problem, I had really bad tmj before surgery, after surgery I was ok but after having my braces removed 2 weeks ago I'm experiencing pain, only on the left side
-
but probably you do not have deviated jaw ?
-
OK I finally I think i got the proper diagnosis
I've been examined for 2-3 months by many specialists, and noone was sure about my postop condition. Too much possibilities
even MRI does not shows problem clearly
but..... something changed , I think
I have compressed disc due to surgery
I got proper splint too late.. It's now 5th month after surgery
I've been wearing my splint for one day and night and I have a bit milder symptoms as far
but I got it too late. My surgeon should have recognised the problem in postop care and he failed
now regardless milder symptoms, the disc may not return to its normal shape / condition :(
Anyone knows about chances for my disc after 5 months of compression ?
I was told by one specialist it's too late.. I should have got it within month after surgery
-
Rico I think this is good news and a step in the right direction!!!
I'm happy for you--i think this will still be really beneficial
-
unfortunately it was just better for half of a day - coincidence
as far nothing has changed...
the jaw is still deviated
