Judging my treatment plan for tmj
I was suffering from tmd (as a result of excessive jaw clenching). So I visited to dental world for my treatment. After 2.5 years of treatment now I think I can chew food more comfortable way. But even now I feel discomfort in my neck and back area, some tight muscles in my cheek area and difficulty in finding my original bite... Is my treatment working?
Please help me because I always feel nervous, anxious, depressed etc, wondering whether my treatment is working or not?
