I need some advice people.
I have had tinnitus for a month and a half. I just finished my teeth alignment treatment. I have a headache / muscle tensions aswell. Has anyone ever tried this or heard of it? My doctor says, that it is a symptom of loud Music and Ear damage but not teeth alignment? I need to hear from someone with experience. 🍀 thanks

Nope. Tinnitus can be a direct result of malocclusion ……. And it’s one of the last things usually to leave as a TMD symptom if your dentist knows how to successfully treat this.

So u are done with treatment and still having muscular pain ?

Julie Gray Wallace
I’m done with my alignment 5 days ago and still has pain – muscle tension from the treatment. My worries is, if its an ongoing thing. Dentist said that the bite is normal

Paulo Higino de Araujo
Me diz uma coisa Julie,você tem alguma parafunção,como bruxismo ou apertamento dental,está passando por algum stress.?

Julie Gray Wallace
No 😳 i woke up one morning with soreness from biting my teeth together at night. Normally not a problem for me. But no bruxismo.

Julie Gray Wallace
No stress. Only the worries from tinnitus.

Paulo Higino de Araujo
Voce ja usou alguma placa miorelaxante,ela eleva a mordida e causa um relaxamento nos musculos

Paulo Higino de Araujo

E nervos reduzindo ou acabando com a dor.

Paulo Higino de Araujo
Outra coisa que voce deve descobrir e quando começou,e se algo diferente mudou em sua vida nesta data,voce tem alguma radiografia panoramica para que eu possa ver.

Paulo Higino de Araujo
Tambem ha alguns casos em que se faz um desgaste oclusal ,so que deve ter um criterio rigoroso,nao e sair fazendo,acho que a placa seria a primeira escolha junto com atividades de relaxamento fisico,use e faça por um periodo de pelo menos tres meses e observe o resultado,pode ter outras causas que um bom medico clinico geral pode identificar,elimine as possiveis causas que voce descobrira qual e a verdadeira.

Julie Gray Wallace
Thanks for your answer Paulo. I’m not using any miorelaxante. Only painkillers. And massage from a professional.
Nothing really changed. I did’nt notice anything at all besides the muscle tension and tinnitus. My dentist has the panorama x-ray in his system. I don’t have it unfortunately. Yes. You Think i should use a splint for 3 months to see, if there is any changes. I Think along with massage that would be a good idea. I need to see a jaw specialist i guess – if symptoms never goes away. Paulo – do you also have tinnitus?

Paulo Higino de Araujo
Eu tenho um amigo que é especialista em DTM,o nome dele é Daniel Bonotto,veja se consegue adciona-lo e descubra mais respostas.

Julie Gray Wallace
Paulo Higino de Araujo ok

Jill Mitchell
I’m sorry to hear. what type of treatment did u have ……
Depending on the length of time you had TMD and possible joint/ disc damage its possible to have some lingering pain but it’s hard to comment on your case not knowing whole picture.
If pain is substantial still something wasn’t addressed properly

BAsed on everything I have read online, tinnitus can be connected to TMD. It can, of course, also be a side effect of certain medications. I have had it for five years but my situation is connected to an anomaly with a cerebrovascular artery pressing on auditory nerve. I will add, however, that since I had a major flare up with TMD the tinnitus is much more persistent and louder and I can at times even hear it when wearing my hearing aids.

How did u find out it was to do with an artery…message me thnxs

Julie Gray Wallace
I’m curious too.

Jeanne Herman
Brain MRI with contrast showed the AICA loop pressing on auditory nerve and a hearing test confirmed major hearing loss. You would see an audiologist first for hearing testing and then they are often associated with an ENT specialist who ordered the scan. ENT explained everything and that I needed hearing aids that would improve hearing and reduce my ability to hear tinnitus. I then went to a research facility at the University and met with a research specialist on the problem I have because I wanted to know if there is a way to eliminate the tinnitus. The surgery was highly invasive, very dangerous, and with very low success rates. I opted to live with tinnitus and to wear hearing aids. I hear much better and am doing just fine.

Julie Gray Wallace
Jeanne Herman i’m glad ur doing fine and learn to live with it 🌻

JoAnna Mikels
Jeanne Herman do u hear whooshing in ear with pressure or heartbeat sound…I heard surgery is successful

Jeanne Herman
I hear loud static and buzzing but the nature of sound often depends on what is causing it. The researcher at the university said this. What surgery is successful? TMD surgery? There is no surgery for tinnitus unless there is a tumor or some concrete cause. And then the specialist I saw said patients have a low success rate even if a tumor is removed, and depending on location, the risks are great. This is why so many people suffer with tinnitus.

Darick Nordstrom
Jeanne Herman great comments: so glad you chimed in. Our experience is that tinnitus is similar to trigeminal neuralgia in that there is typically a close vascular connection with a larger nerve bundle, and the area has become ‘dry’ (less nice insulating and supporting, surrounding tissue. Fortunately, there isn’t the paroxysmal pain with tinnitus, and fortunately, I think it is accessible/addressable through the same procedure used for TMJ Proper Prolo. It might take a few more applications, but the idea is similar to the decompression surgery for TN, in that we are working to achieve more supportive connective tissue between the nerve, artery, and other joint components. Because it is close to the TMJ, some people get temporary or permanent relief from good TMJ therapy, but then mistakenly assume that it must be directly related to TMJ, when, in reality, they are co-morbidities of a bigger problem. It can be initiated with changing the occlusion, especially when patients have been ‘flying beneath the radar’ with other contributing issues. In a few cases patients are able to ‘back-out’ of the problem by getting the bite dialed-in, but because the bite is only one of a number of factors, focusing only on it could be a painful learning experience.

I had a “litewire” treatment . Only 3 months for cosmetic alignment. Not a functional problem at all. Two months in the treatment is when symptoms started. When my teeth started rotating. I choose to quit the treatment before due to tinnitus.

Julie Gray Wallace do you still have Tinnitus??

Julie Gray Wallace
yes. 3 years

Preity Chinda
Julie Gray Wallace 🙁

It has nothing to do with loud music. Aligning the teeth is a recipe for disaster.
