Related: About this forumI see the TMJ dentist Monday
I'm really nervous. They ran a bunch of diagnostic tests a few weeks ago. Now I hear the results. The orthotic device is, at least, $6100. I need a new night guard.
Its affecting my mental health. My left jaw clicks when I chew.

Perhaps a $60 - $100 massage might help, even if it takes a few or regular treatments, would be less than a device that you feel much discomfort about. Seriously, but also personally, when I have that much stress over a thing it often ends up being something I would be better off without.
