Considering jaw surgery
Hi,
I’m 23 y/o (F) based in the UK (London) considering djs due to long term jaw issues, recession and over bite. I previously had braces in 2016 for 1 year, jaw surgery was mentioned briefly but the orthodontist said braces and bands should help. For the last ten years I had physiotherapy on and off for TMJ and received a mouth guard however this has not helped with anything I have trouble sleeping/ breathing and eating food (constant fatigue and breaks in between bites). I have considered myofunctional therapy but don’t know if it’s worth the money. I think it would be best to look into djs but it’s been said the NHS are strict and often reject cases I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’m constantly getting dismissed by dentist and GP as these problems become worse.
