Thanks for your input everyone. I am speaking with my biologic dentist in two weeks about all of this. The dentist I spoke with regarding the braces is actually not a tradtional orthodontist. He is a dentist that practices something called "functional orthodontry" and works on correcting the palate and bite, as it relates to the bones in your skull. He said this should also should help with my forward head posture and neck and shoulder alignment. He has treated a lot of kids with ADHD and it makes a big difference in their spaciness. One of his big areas of specialty is TMD. He is going to complete a workup as you described in one of the posts. I had gone to another dr. for a long time who gave me a splint and trigger point injections up and down my neck, head, shoulders, jaw, and used a tens unit, etc. It did help with the fogginess, etc. but all came back in a short period of time. I ran into a dentist that I know who spoke to me about how if your bite is off, your problems will always come back and recommended I go to this person to look into my bite. Like I said, what he described as my problem makes sense for me given many of my symptoms. And he is also a big name in his field. He did tell me that he is happy I never had braces before and that I have all of my teeth. He said that when orthodontists pull your teeth, it makes your jaw even narrower and for people prone to TMD this is a nightmare. He said my situation could actually be a lot worse. My integrative dr. who recommends all of my vitamins and is talking about chelation with me also said he feels many of my symptoms are because of my TMD and I need to have this addressed. But I am not rushing into doing anything because of my fear of getting worse from the other factors. I will see what my biologic dentist says, talk to my integrative dr. again, and probably get a second opinion on the braces as well.
