I saw Dr. Lauson for TMJ treatment years ago. Everytime I went in for a check-up there was no improvement in the clicking of the jaw. So he adjusted my guard to pull my jaw more forward. Wearing the guard like that caused me
to have burning mouth syndrome and my front teeth took such a hit that they were throbbing (they soon died after that). When I told him all that was going on he told his assistant to grind my guard down to flat and that he was done with me. She asked him if he wanted to check the guard and my bite and he said no. My dentist told me that if he didn't wean me off the guard I would be in a world of hurt and 7 years later I am still miserable. This guy changed my life and not in a good way. I was also told that my jaw is arthritic now from being held out of position that long.
