Underbite & Tmj Posted: 06-16-05 05:12am
I was born with an underbite and lately my
dentist told me that I also developed tmj
problems.. However, I visited several
dentists & they gave different
opinions onto which should be treated
first. Others said that the tmj problem
should be first because it'll be hard to
correct the underbite if I suffer from
tmj. The others said that underbite
should be the first since it is the main
cause why I have tmj. & after
treating my bite & I still have
tmj..That's the time to treat the tmj.
Both procedures will be using braces &
retainers for a long time. Before I pay a
high amount & commit myself to a
dentist, I really want to make sure which
would be the correct procedure..
Hope you guys can help me so please make a
reply..
Thanks! :)

I am new to this site. Before treatment
begins you should be checked for tmj
symptoms. Does it make sense to move
teeth without first addressing the joints?
That may be asking for blind luck.
Seek the advice of a neuromuscular dentist
in your area.

You'd better go to india or latvia to
treat your teeth. It is much cheaper and
more effective. Usually foreigners are
treated much better then anyone else, as
it creates image for these countries. It
is even better to latvia, as I don't trust
indian traditional medicine much, though
nottraditional is very effective.
