Judging improvement from tmj treatment
During my final phase treatment of tmj i.e. braces after splint therapy I have observed something on my tmj problem.... 1)My upper and lower pre-molar and molar teeth are touching slowly when I close my mouth 2)I am now able to chew more comfortably than before 3)my facial appearance is becoming normal But even now the facial muscles related to tmj  are so tight and my upper and lower teeth don't fit with each other and I have some tight muscles in my neck and shoulder area. What those signs indicate? Is my condition improving? Will I be totally normal after the treatment complete? What type of symptoms I would experience if there is something wrong in my tm joint and muscles? Please clear my all the doubts... I am really suffering from frustration, depression, anxiety, nervousness etc. Please help....

Hi The improvement in the TMJ problem treatment depends on type of TMJ problem and treatment carried out for that....The improvement can be diagnosed through some clinical and radiological examination of TMJ ...No need to worry ...There will be some discomfort during the course of treatment...Everything will be alright at the end of the treatment

kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management
