I am a patient of tmj disorder and my treatment is going on. Now I am going through splint therapy for 9 months. My doctor took post tmj x ray and said my tmj problem is almost fixed and I should the 2nd phase treatment I.e. Orthodontic treatment. But I think my tmj problem is not totally cured because I am feeling my facial muscles are tight and tensed and I listen some type of sounds from tm joint. Also my facial expressions have been changed heavily. So how can I be sure that my tmj problem is curing and will be cured totally in future? Please help me. Thank you.
