I have TMJ and wear a split nightly. It gives my face a break but, doesn't seem to correct the problem. If anyone has any advice or sugestions beyond seeing a doctor I would greatly appreciate it.

What I can offer from my own personal expirence is that accupucture really worked. You my what to look into a two supplyments. condrytine and glucosumine. It rebuilds conective tissue. pardon my spelling. I'm a little tippsy ringht now

MSM
Tue, September 21, 2004 - 7:28 AMAnother good thing to add to the mix would be MSM, as it is a natural anti-inflammatory as well as an aid to rebuilding connective tissue. It is supposed to be good for the skin too. Come to think of it acupuncture helped me as well. I have remained helped for the most part. I have heard that acupuncture can reduce scar tissue. Also, if you are grinind your teeth at night, perhaps a simple nightguard bought at the drug store might help.
Good luck!
