My Husband Has Developed a TMJ Problem Since Starting Invisalign About 3 Months Ago, Should he Discontinue?
BabyJaxJan 31, 2012
He cannot open his mouth very wide. It seems like his jaw is not allowing his mouth to open completely, but he does not have any pain or clicking noises, etc. His dr. contacted Invisalign and they were unable to comment or give any recommendations. So, he's now on a prescription muscle relaxer of some sort, warm compresses on his jaw and soft diet. Has been instructed to use the Invisalign trays at night only. None of this has helped at all. We are both very concerned at this point.
