Hi everyone,
it has been 4-5 years since I have some fibrosis in the right TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint, jaw joint) and in some neck muscles around the area, because of stress/depression.
My doctors said I had to do some stretching of these areas, and after stress, depression etc would be gone it would be better.
But 4-5 years after, depression and anxiety etc totally healed since a couple of years, I still have fibrosis which is linked with my tinnitus on the same side of the TMJs. The fibrosis is lighter but still intense enough to annoy me.
One major problem occured from that: this right side of the jaw has not really grown since all these years. I was still young and developping, and now my left jaw is way bigger/healthier looking than the right side. When I touch it, the left side under the TMJ is like 30% longer, and the bone is way bigger, like 40% more volume. The right side of my face is also thinner (like 1-2cm) and again looks more tired, unhealthy than the normal left side. Moreover, my occlusion is really crap on the right side, eventhough I had a orthodontic treatment for 2 years now and still have brackets to correct that for more than a year.
So, I do really think that fibrosis and my jaw growth are linked, but of course i'd like to have some opinions/ideas. I was wondering how I could help that, and maybe get my jaw back to its normal growth, and btw heal that crappy occlusion that my treatments with 2 specialists is barely improving even after years.
Help would be so hugely appreciated... Thanks !
