Question:
Dentures and TMJ: I was diagnosed with TMJ about a year ago but have not been able to do anything about it because my insurance won't cover it.
But this summer I will be going in to have all my teeth pulled and get dentures. Will getting dentures possibly help my TMJ?
Can the dentist design them so that my teeth will hit correctly and cause the popping in my jaw to go away? ... Visitor from MO
Answer:
The short and most important answer for you to hear is:
If you are having troubles now then expect that to be much worse when you get the dentures.
If at all possible keep your teeth. If not, then be sure that you have someone who understands bite relationships very well do the work for you.
