[quote=Anonymous]I've tried so many different things to solve my jaw pain. Worked with my dentist and got a mouth guard I wore at night. It worked at first, and then got chewed up by my dog. I had to go back in, and was required to do a new fitting, and things went really down hill from there. The new guard was apparently a bit different and ruined my bite. I developed clicking in the jaw and a lot of pain. The guard was slimmed down but still not great. I went to some sort of muscle specialist for tests; they offered no real resolution. My dentist wants me to get invisalign, but I can't ever tell if she's offering a real solution or just trying to sell stuff. I've asked about botox, and she's very happy to do it, but also suggests it's just palliative and not a real solution like invisalign would be.

I'd really love to go to a good specialist - otherwise, guess I just have to deal with a lifetime of this...I'm located in Vienna, but work in downtown DC. Anybody have someone they like??[/quote]
