smorgasvein
Due to TMJ, I noticed one day that my right jaw is more swollen than the left (pic attached) after taking my first selfie in years. Two weeks ago, I went and had 20 units applied to the right, 10 left. Looking for some advice: Would you agree applying more to the right is correct for achieving symmetry? I havent really noticed any difference (it feels diff, but appearance hasnt changed), and unsure whether I should get more. Should I wait longer for results? Thanks in advance!
