       sells at least two types of orthodontic equipment. One is a
       mouthguard (jaw shaper) which helps realign/broaden the dental
       arch by chewing. The other is a german style applience with
       manual screws. I tried both but didn't use them for too long
       since the jaw shaper hurt my gums and the pallate expander
       further misaligned my teeth.

       progress with photos and I still have 12 months to go.

       the palate/dental arch I'd say go for it. Unless your mouth also
       looks like a stack of matches on a crooked string. For me, my
       TMD got excabarated through self-treatment which ultimatly was a
       good thing since it forced me to get real help.

       Do you know how you've come around to exacerbate your TMD?
       Other than the one provided by Gaia, do you have any other
       website(s) that sell them palatal expanders? It seems people in
       Europe are much more aware of these kind of things.

       I believe it's because the device pushed my molars out to the
       side to the point where I suddey only had one small contact
       point on one side in my mouth. I've never had great molar
       support but after three months the only teeth that met where
       half of my upper and lower 6's.
       I'm not saying it dosen't work. I'm just saying to be careful
       and that I myself choose to go the professional route when
       aligning teeth. There is a benefit to have someone experienced
       supervising your progress.
