Guh! I made the mistake of googling 'arch bars'. I'm so sorry! They look like a medieval torture device - I never knew they were a thing.

I have TMJ issues as well, but are so far they're only functional (I don't have any pain or discomfort). My ortho said jaw surgery might be something we visit as an option down the road, but I'm pretty hesitant.

I wish you a speedy recovery and pain-free future! Thanks for sharing your experience. :)

Hahaha! (Former Austinite here) They will be one of the last hold outs, for sure.

And while we're talking about it, can we add Utah to that list? The Mormons here are super misinformed (through the church) and are even against mj for medicinal purposes.

Yup, and it sure is frustrating! Especially with this state having such an opioid problem you would think they would be in favor of a more "natural" approach that actually helps people + causes fewer problems. Guess that makes too much sense, though.... :/
