Well, I think you should be glad you have a good useable jaw with little
fallout after your accident. The last thing you need to do is to fiddle
around with something that is serving you well. Perfection isn't
realistic.
As for the clicking, I think most of the dentists here in smd would
advise you to forget about it. And, as for telling you that you had
"TMJ"... I think you should forget about that too.
What I think you might want to do is ask about how an NTI might be used
for your situation. The pain you wrote about in the left side (see text
below), might indicate something that an NTI might address.
The mistake many people make is very understandable. If a person is
told there is some "condition" identified, people think there's
something that can *and* should be done about it. This just isn't
always the case. So my advice, even though you didn't specifically ask
for it, is this: Caution!!!
Good luck to you, Susan, and I'm sure glad you came out of your accident
as well as you did.
