Mousethief, for TMJ, my dentist noticed some symptoms in my mouth -- like, teethmarks inside my cheeks -- and asked me some questions about some other symptoms, all of which I had. I had been doing the orthopedist-rheumatologist cha-cha-cha for my shoulder for over a year. He then put me in a device which measured how off my jaw alignment was. He explained at every step that his profession was deeply divided on this, and it was my decision whether to proceed. I feel good about my dentist, which helped. He built a bite plate which I have to wear at night for the rest of my life, or else get all of my teeth redone. Since I already saw a chiropracter, the dentist recommended I get jaw adjustments, too, which also help. As the dentist predicted, for 3 days the device felt really awkward, and after that I'd break your arm before I'd give it up.

It cost about $1500 -- cheap, for the immense relief I got.
