TMJ followup

Just came back from dentist. The course of treatment is $6600. This is two orthotic devices, one day one night. My orthodonture from 30 yrs ago caused some of this by pulling four teeth.

I go back wednesday to start the course so they can make me a personalized set of orthotics.

My posture is also bad

Theyre totally not rip off artists. This is a delicate, complex problem. They ran a ton of diagnostic tests and went over them with me in detail.

So, I'm not sure what you're implying.

ETA: they have excellent reviews

Yes, the left-jaw popping is driving me nuts. I get annoyed, bc I never tell anyone how to handle their healthcare, and my sister is telling me try a new pillow. IOW, I'm a dummy getting ripped off.

This is beyond pillows and heating pads. They showed me. Their very professional, caring, and ethical, shit like this is expensive.

It is what it is.
