Jessi was officially diagnosed with TMJ today. She has been having trouble with her jaw ever since she got her braces. It clicks all of the time and will lock occasionally. Sometimes it will even stay locked for days. It was about this time last year she was having problems, it finally subsided some, and now is back again. The ortho is in the process of making her gear for her bite to keep her from grinding or clenching her teeth. We all hope that will help! It is really painful for her.
