Does Anyone Suffer From Facial Pain? Medication Will Not Relieve It. I Don't Know Anyone Else Who Has The Same Pain.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grand Falls-Windsor, NL

I assume I had tmj disfunction but an xray was negative. The dentist said it IS tmj and that braces would fix the problem. But they are charging over 5,000 dollars and my insurance company won't cover it because they said it was cosmetic. My teeth are not crooked. I would only do it to get pain relief. Anyone know what I should do?
