Hey Smilin~
I did not have this dislocated TMJ until 9months after this accident....The specialist needs hours with me for impressions and then will study them to get a resolution of what we are going to do....And get back with me after doing the studies of impressions.....I am thinking worst scenario:Manipulation of jaw and put back in place and wire shut to keep in place?I don't know...but will find out by mid week probably....So all my rehab has been put on hold till this is resolved

I know you are worried about what trauma having it fixed may have on your brain, but in the long run, you may see a huge positive change in symptoms, because your not adding pressure to that area of your head.

Wish you the best! When is the appt?
