What did your ortho tell you about braces affecting your TMJ? Has it helped your symptoms? I have TMJ and am still in the stages of choosing my ortho and I have one telling me that he can fix my symptoms and one saying no, so I am still trying to find out if getting rid of my symptoms is realistic.

Thanks!!
