About Tmj splint

2019-04-07 03:20:55
I have tmj splint and which I have been using for more than 1 year. Now my observations are :1)my lower row of teeth are going to backward 2)i can chew food better than before etc. But my original bite is not regained and my facial symmetry has changed. How can I understand whether a splint (used for 24 /7) is working for me or not? If there any side effect of using splint for long term, how can I know by observing external and internal symptoms? Please help.
