Invisalign - Has Anyone With Tmj Had It? Posted: 09-06-07 15:08pm
I am wondering if anyone who has had or
has TMJ has gotten invisalign. I had
braces put to correct my bite but it made
the pain so bad that I had to get them
removed. I think the orthodontist did have
good intentions but didn't take into
account the fact that having metal braces
on at all times would make my pain a lot
worse. I've heard that invisalign can
sometimes be worn only at night and I
think if I could do this it would be best
as I need some break from having pressure
in my mouth as if its always there the
pain really starts to act up. I'd be
interested to hear anyone's experience
with this. Thanks

Hey Posted: 09-07-07 12:38pm
invisilign still moves the teeth. altering
the bite like that will still make the tmd
act up. I would get the tmd as manageable
as possible before i started moving teeth.
However its entirely up to you. Make sure
that you tell them about tmd and what not.
Im sure that you know the drill.
