My jaw and teeth never feel comfortable. is there a way for me to stop thinking about it? dentist said that tmj should resolve on it's own but my teeth feel uncomfortable.

Consider a splint: Sometimes a mouth splint can help your TMJ issues. Have your dentist consider fabricating a mouth splint for you. Of course your occlusion will need to be checked again.

Get diagnosis: I would suggest you see a dentist who can diagnose your problem before you consider treatment. Treatment for muscle problems are treated differently than a joint problem... Which is different than a ligament problem....

Tmj doesn't resolve : It sounds to me like you need to see a dentist who is trained in TMJ and occlusion. One suggestion would be to go online and google pankey institute. You will be able to locate a dentist in your area who treats this kind of thing.

TMJ - bite off: It is possible that you have a dislocation of your TMJ (jaw joint) or a muscle dysfunction problem that is treated by a dentist. Select a dentist that routinely treats TMJ with functional orthopedic type appliances. Many dentist treat tmj, however only about 5% are really good since they are able customize your treatment by selecting from multiple customized treatment modalities.

See Expert: See a TMJ expert for advice. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
