Hi Everyone! My name is Sharon and after having anxiety and panic attack I suffered from TMD since 2015. I've been to a dentist August 2016 and suggested to have braces to correct my bite as my upper and lower teeth are not touching. My braces are scheduled to be removed by end of this month but my TMD symptoms haven't disappeared. So I decided to look for a TMJ specialist and she asked me to do the sleep test. The result is I have mild OSA which she advised me to wear the appliance every night for a year. She said she will check me every 3 months to see if the appliance is working with me. Then after a year she will see if I need to wear braces again as she found out that the way the other dentist put my braces was not right and actually did not help my TMJ issue. My question, is wearing the appliance for OSA can cure also my TMJ pain?
