Need advice regarding TMJD treatment
Few years ago, I(26M) discovered that I have class 3 crossbite where my lower teeth are a little in front of the upper teeth (underbite), but I was okay with it and didn’t mind how it looked. However, from past one year, I have bad pain in my lower jaw and my neck due to which I have very frequent headaches, and I discovered that I have TMJD. Last week I consulted a doctor which I found on social media who is specialised in TMJD. And she suggested that I need to go through this treatment: *Treatment and payment schedule* 1. *Myofunctional therapy*-₹25500/- (10-12 sessions 7 days apart will start before the tongue tie release and continue after the release) 2. *Tongue tie release*- ₹52,000/- Will be scheduled approximately 2 months from starting Myo 3. *GNM orthotic (splint)*(done 1 month after the Tongue tie release) - ₹1,43,000 (to be paid in two instalments) Are there any doctors in NCR specialising in these kind of treatments where I can get this done in better price?

Tongue tie release may not be ideal for you as tongue will need more space after the procedure which can worsen your class 3. You can go in for a splint for TMD followed by fixed orthodontic treatment for class 3. Or you can choose aligners directly without splint. This option i cannot ascertain without assessing the severity of TMD.
