Accepted Answer

TMJ/TMD: It is treatment for an abnormality of the joint between the lower jaw bone and the base of the skull and the meniscus that is between them.  Can be a very delicate area and have surgery as a last resort.

Question 3

what is tmj and what causes it to get worse?

Accepted Answer

Multiple factors: Temporomandibular dysfunction is an imbalance between the jaw joints, the muscles that control the jaw, and the way the upper and lower teeth mesh. Something amiss in any of these three systems can cause "tmj" pain. It is often brought on by stress or overuse of your jaw, such as in chewing gum, or opening too wide.  Treatment would be based on the specific diagnosis of the problem

please tell me can fosamax (alendronate) cause tmj disorder?

No...: Fosamax (alendronate) increases the possibility of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw, which is the "death of bone" in your jaw. I suppose you could say that is a TMJ disorder.

Question 10

how can i reverse  my tmj pain and the asymmetry it has caused my face ?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: You will need to get a consultation to find out what is exactly causing the TMJ pain or if it is something else, need to really see the facial asymmetry and get a ct scan.
Call either an oral surgeon or a prosthodontist who has training in tmj.
