Devin Discusses how she has been a patient of Dr Shapira for a little over 2 years. When she first came in she had a close-lock dislocation of her jaw in the Right TMJoint. She had been locked for approximately 8 months and I was in a lot of jaw pain. I came in primarily for a lot of TMJ symptoms that have been going on for 10-15 years by the time I got here and unfortunately there was already a lot of damage in the jaw joint spaces. I wish I would have gotten here a lot sooner but as soon as treatment was started the jaw was unlocked, INSTANT RELIEF and I was moved into an orthotic device that brought my jaw into a more comfortable position which was the first phase of treatment.
To improve nasal breathing and other aspects we then did the DNA Appliance and that improved my nasal breathing really quickly and that has given me some esthetic benefit as well. At this point mile smile is still a little bit narrow bu I came in for Jaw Pain which is completely gone I am getting ready to wrap up treatment at just about the 2 1/2 year mark.
Get in here sooner if you are thinking about it, that is my only regret is that I did not start sooner.Dr Shapira asked "Whats on your teeth now since you don't have the Orthotic in?
Devin responded: "I do have some composite build-ups to keep my bite comfortable but as a result I don't have to wear any type of appliance during the day.
It is easier to talk with just the composite build-ups.
Devin still has the ability to expand further with her DNA Appliance in the future, if she decides she want to widen her smile an additional amount of expansion
