I'm glad it helps!

I disagree! It's saved me hundreds each year, but I hope you find what works best for you!

I've updated the caption to share! still in pain, much less though, teeth still don't touch but they're getting closer, I'm still not sure how I feel about it or if I recommend it

@@KellsieMoore Was there any degenerativity in your joint disc in your MRI result ? I think I've damaged my disc a lot, there's a click-click sound when I'm chewing a little hard food. Have you experienced anything like this yourself?

So phase 2 was awful - wearing the expander, the splint [lower facial appliance, is genuinely what my ppl called it but others refer to it as a splint], and metal braces at the same time was painful and created a significant lisp and mouth fatigue that I could barely talk for about 9 months. It created a type of depression in me that I did not expect, coupled with other life circumstances at that time it was incredibly difficult and changed a LOT about my life. This is the big reason why I haven't made updated videos, it still feels heavy to talk about it because I'm still in the process. I'm not on the other side yet. I'm in the third phase now with Invisalign and it's okay. My TMJ pain is down from 8-9/10 to 2-3/10 which is amazing. My face is still crooked and my teeth still do not touch which creates dental problems. I honestly have no idea how they will ever touch at this point and it gives me a feeling of extraordinary frustration, anger and some hopelessness about it. I really do want to provide an update because I'm so glad this is creating awareness that there are other options but I have no clue is this is the right and best treatment for other people or not. I'm still not sure if I recommend it, if I'd say it worked or was worth it yet. Insurance finally covered 50% which helped but it's been a long road.

I think so, I don't know by how much but at the dentist I always have to tell them I can't open my mouth very much and not for very long

haha sorry!! Thank you Chris I swear I will someday just no promises on when 😅 honestly it's such a rollercoaster that I have a very hard time knowing what to say as an update. I'm still so in the middle of it that I don't feel right saying if it is worth it or not...but I will say that my TMJ pain is significantly lessened, like from 8-9/10 pain to about 2-3/10 but insurance hasn't covered anything and I still don't have a bite that connects and it is such a long, long drawn out process that I kind of wish I had just done surgery, but at the same time I think this will provide a more permanent change. I'm not sure that's any help🙃 I'd say if you are going to do it though, to get a good payment plan and start sooner rather than later since it does take soooo long you can pay it off during the 3-5 years that the treatment is happening.

It's definitely still uncomfortable to eat, my teeth still dont touch. I'd say I've gone from a 3/10 to a 7/10 but I still have 6 months of treatment left to go

Definitely better with symptoms but my teeth still don't touch and my jaw still gets sore. I'd say I've improved from a 3/10 to a 7/10 - still going, about 6 months left of treatment yet to go

@@KellsieMoore good luck :)

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry about that accident, what an ordeal to go through, I'm so glad you survived! It's definitely worth looking into, one thin I'll say though that has become very clear to me now that I'm 2 years into this process - it is quite uncomfortable and significantly reduces the ability to speak for several months, super unlikely that insurance will cover it, it's slow - and I'm in the final phase of my invisalign now and my teeth still don't touch and my face is possibly more crooked? BUT the jaw pain is 80% diminished. I'm not sure if I'd say it's worth it or not yet. I have at least 6 more months to go and will update then! Please feel free to keep us updated here as well with your journey, thank you for sharing!

So I had the issue with TMJ! After an accident i had scar tissue in the condoyle area! This was in my early 20s and the pain was intense. At 26 I had arthroscopic surgery to clean out the scar tissue followed by braces! Pain receded and my open was much better! The pain and clicking would come back periodically and I will have the pain! One thing I noticed is that my teeth while straight would not touch on one side when I bite! And I did have that crooked look. At 48 I decided to fix my bite! I wanted Invisalign but my orthodontist, who treated all my kids, recommended the classic braces but I had the tooth colored ones on top. This was to get optimal results. I can tell you, I am so glad. My teeth touch and I will be getting the braces off soon I think. I am about 24 months in. More importantly, I don’t have the pain even sporadically. I think it’s because my bite dynamics is better. Also, I don’t have that asymmetry anymore. At least I don’t see it.

My orthodontist is a genius! I plan to wear my retainers religiously.

How is it going now?

Hi! Thank you, I"m so sorry I don't have an update video posted yet, I filmed it twice but had audio issues with one recording and lost one of my video hard drives during our move :/ I will be making it again though to get that posted soon! I'm now on phase 3 with invisalign only and it's brought my symptoms down from 80-90 out of 100 down to about a 30/100 so it's definitely helping. But it has been a JOURNEY going through this with ups and downs for sure, but overall I'm very encouraged.

​@Kellsie Moore did getting eating with it get better? I got mine today I can't eat with it ):

​@Kellsie Moore did invisalign bring back symptoms? That's what I'm worried about because that's why phase two

@@rachelc653 it's back and forth honestly, some weeks my symptoms are back down to a 20/100 and sometimes [like right now] they are at a 70/100 especially with the rubber bands moving the jaw position. I've been hesitant to share an updated opinion yet since I'm still in the thick of it and it's a ton of back and forth. I'm staying hopeful. I avoid eating spinach and rice and other small/thin things are are very difficult to chew.

@@KellsieMoore I'm in orthotic since yesterday. I can't eat anything it's horrible.

ups and downs! Sometimes it's a 3/10 other times it flares up at a 7/10 but still in progress in this treatment so I'm hopeful

Thanks Michael! You'll receive an automatic email after you sign up for your trial that has the link and promo code in there. If you don't see it for some reason, just email me at support@bemarvelousyou.com and I'll get it sent over 🙌

@@KellsieMoore yeah for some reason I cant find it in my email and i also check spam folder... ill email you

Thank you kindly!

These are tmj problem not with neurological

The position of condyles relative to surrounding tmj complex

If you look up neuromuscular dentistry you will get more information. They use a EMG and some sort of technology to track the jaw and muscle reactions.

Aren't all the symptoms so crazy?? It's such a tough thing to figure out. Did you end up moving forward with a treatment?

I'm glad I found your video I have all the symptoms you mentioned as well as excruciating pain on left side jaw that well go down the front of my neck down side if mu throat couldn't swallow water ,meds,or even my saliva.All got worst after 3 years of wearing aligners only to be left with my teeth not touching on either side.I feel exhausted and desperate.

​@@chiquitababy5 did you wear splints?

Hey Archie! Did you end up doing the surgery? How did that go?

Hello how are you?

right! So interesting seeing the full connections of the body
