Sorry to hear about what you are going through first of all. Depending on the amount of time you are in this situation, a Neuromuscular Dentist might be able to help you with positioning of your jaw and teeth in a position that you would get the least amount of pressure on your teeth and jaw, and allow your jaw and teeth to settle and heal.

Hi Paul,
Here I have a couple of recommendations. I am not sure if they are close to you or not. But they both are highly trained guys in the field of neuromuscular dentistry. http://top3dentists.com/dentists/129 and http://top3dentists.com/dentists/145 . If not go to www.top3dentists.com and look for a Neuromuscular Dentist in your zip code area, if they did not have one in your area, email them and they can help you out with finding a person. Best of luck and keep us informed.
