I am currently undergoing TMJ treatment by a general dentist. He has me wearing a flat plane hard splint at night only. I have been doing this since October 2005. I have daily headaches and pain in my TM joints. The splint has helped some but by no means eliminated the pain. My TMJ was the result of an MVA in October 2004. I have had MRIs of the TM joints. They showed posterior sublaxation of the meniscus in the closed mouth view. I have been told many times by the dentist that is treating me that this can not be cured or fixed and I will just have to manage it with the Splint and pain meds. He has also told me that I will have to wear the splint for the rest of my life. This is very depressing. I would like to get a second opinion. Please tell me if there are other options that are not a life sentence. Could you suggest a doctor in the Tupelo/Memphis area with training and sucess in TMJ Treatment. Thanks in advance for your time and help
