Huge Pain on Left Upper and Lower Jaw?

on both upper and lower jaws since April 2012. It has gotten to the point that it does not allow me to concentrate on my work. On April 2012, i fell left jaw bottom first onto a wooden table. Since, then the pain has been non stop. The oral maxiofacial surgeon said he is sure i have tmj. I then went to a orthodontist, who specializes on tmj. He told to get invislign & tmj treatment. Supposedly the invislign has tmj treatment, and I have been using invislign since august and i still have pain.
