It doesn't make any sounds. I think that's more closely related to IQ level.

TMJ and perhaps TMI - eh?

A couple of things (perhaps helpful/perhaps not - eh?) - first - my best friend is a rather excellent chiropractor who has developed a number of pressure point massages/stretches (and resistance exercises) and such that he does on patients and then teaches them to do for themselves where he has had great success treating TMJ. In fact - another friend of mine who is a Doctor has been (at least till this point) totally cured of her TMJ condition based on his treatment of her (once) and her use of his techniques. He is a rather special chiropractor though - as he does a great deal of soft tissue work (and has extensive training in such...and cross training with his g/f who is a massage therapist) etc etc - so not all chiropractors may be capable of helping with such - though I would think there are some out there who might be so inclined. Unfourtunatly my friend is here on the East coast - though I think he may be teaching some of his techniques to chiropractors at the LA Chiropractic College in Pasadena at some point in the near future (doesn't help you though either does it?). Anyway - good luck - and don't give up or let these bastards tell you that there is nothing you can do - that is total BS and ignorance (of the worst kind).

...jaw pain and BJs...never (as in I wouldn't know from any personal experience at such)...though I may have caused/been the reason for such! j/k...and in fact (no j/k), I've experienced a sort of lock-jaw condition! (and for quite sometime after...well a day or so at any rate...) due to intensive (enthusiastic! ) and rather prolonged (and I should add quite skillful - oh yes... ) and repeated minestrations pleasing various female friends (ussually...though not always...on different/seperate occasions) - true - really... ...in fact I once had a bi g/f who used to have me show some of her g/fs - and of course (I would modestly say correctly ) claim I was the best! (but of course it wasn't always so - it pays to observe/absorb listen and learn [and make the effort!] sometimes...well perhaps not literally (pays)...but you know...though perhaps it could eh? ...TMI? (TMJ? )

armobarbi thats bullsh!t... they need to and can fix it... and if i were you i'd be mad at my mom and tell her, but i would also understand that she must have been ignorant about the whole thing... i know my mom would've thought "no there is nothing wrong" because thats what she did with my little brothers eyes... he was becoming near sighted and she didnt believe it, the nurse at the school was like, your son need glass, thats why he is doing bad in school... so as soon as we got him glasses (and it took many people to convince my mother), my litte brother started to get good grades, etc...

but you have to know that there are solutions to this, i mean come on, look at michael jackson... look at all the models with all the plastic surgery... thats stupid... they have given penises to people who wanted to be men and vaginas for those who wanted to be women, they can fix your teeth...

that is just BS! go to another doctor...

"There are a few other symptoms besides pain that TMJ dysfunction can cause. It can make popping, clicking, or grinding sounds when the jaws are opened widely. Or the jaw locks wide open (dislocated). At the other extreme, TMJ dysfunction can prevent the jaws from fully opening. Some people get ringing in their ears from TMJ troubl"

Yeah, I knew about this. I thought you were asking me personally.

wino, I have a masseuse and she has tried. I need a specialist, and there are none in this area. Im gonna keep looking though, and I will see other orthodantists for the teeth. They arent even really crooked, its just over crowding and an over bite.

Nune, I am angry at my mother (if you didnt get that part), but I wont say anything. My mother doesnt take such things well.... She did know. When I was 12 or 13, my dentist suggested braces and such. I was for it, I asked her. She didnt wanna pay for it - it wasnt important enough to her.
