Research TMJ BEFORE you get the braces

TMJ seems to be fairly unknown by a lot of people. Before you get braces, or have braces put on your kid, do some research on TMJ problems and find an orthodontist who understands TMJ, just in case. Also, if you are an adult, find an orthodontist who specializes in adults (or at least has a pretty even blend of patients) if you can. They are more likely to listen to what you have to say instead of just blowing you off as he might the complaints of a kid.
