Elastics on teeth

I had clicking sounds. My doctor told me that my tmj muscle has come out of its place. But he told me that I don't have any malocclusion. So he put elastics in my teeth without braces and he said this will restrict the wide opening of mouth and thus will give time to the tmj muscle for healing which can help me improve. I have never seen elastics without braces and hence I am confused. Is this correct?

COLD SORE?

I have a red spot on my top lip where my cold sore was, is it still contagious? I've had a cold sore recently that lasted 12 days. It scabbed already and the scab fell off but there's still a red spot where it was. I'm still applying Acyclovir in hopes of making it disappear. Please help get rid of it because I have an important meeting in two days.

Improvement of tmj disorder

Now my tmj disorder treatment is going on. After more than 1 year of treatment for my tmj disorder with splint therapy and orthodontic treatment now I don't feel any pain, jaw clicking or locking etc. I just feel  my jaw muscles are in spasm (they are tight), my facial shape is not normal (like before this problem),different types of sound from my neck and back and sometimes from jaw muscles while massaging them and i also feel by touching both the jaw joint that they are not symmetrical and balanced. Will i be cured totally from this problem? Is this harmful to massage my jaw muscles while wearing tmj splint for 24/7 ? Can you  suggest something that can speed up this recovery process? Please help me.
