Anyone know who sells wrist braces...
for relief? I have a few but have gained weight, so need one for a "fattier" arm.
TIA!
I am pretty sure braces CAUSED my DD's TMJ
She never had it before she had braces, and has had it ever since. I started to do some research on the web about it, and it seems it is pretty common for orthodontists to line up the TEETH, but not the jaws - which is kind of a DUH thing to me. I mean, you would expect an orthodontist to know they needed to have both in line, right? My DD's teeth look beautifully straight, but her jaws click and sometimes get stuck.
Most larger drug stores carry a selection of OTC braces and will order others, too. nm

I am also terrified of the dentist sm
Personally, Never Again will I have a root canal and crown. The crown was not put in correctly and now I have decay underneath the crown and will be having the rest of the tooth pulled and a vaneer put in.
It is very costly and had I known that could happen, I would have had the tooth pulled in the first place under sedation or something.
The only part that hurt during the root canal was the needle. The after effects is just annoying and frustrating. I'd rather go to the gynecologist than the dentist!
would you hire an MT to be a dentist
without any formal training???? I get very frustrated with people who ask me to get them a job because, after all, how hard can just sitting there typing be?
This is a serious job. You can change a patients past, present and future by one mistake on a report. You do not "travel this avenue" for fun.
If you want to be an MT, and can be serious about it, then you will take an MT course and learn what you need to know. If you are not willing to do that then you need to find another avenue.
per my dentist, when i asked,
most of them are not worth it, unless you need a lot of work, as they are expensive and coverage not usually so good.
Find a dentist who will knock you out! Had it done

about 23 years ago a dentist told me I needed 4
crowns at about $800/each. Changed dentists a couple of times since and no one has ever told me I needed crowns.
What kindof a doctor would you see for a TMJ problem, or would you see a dentist? nm

When somebody states they got 'novocaine' at the dentist and you know its an archaic term.
$2500-2600 not counting entertainment, doc/dentist
That's just rent, phone, electric, car, car ins., gas, and food.
