Braces and TMJ

Hi All,
I’ve been suffering with daily chronic migraines now for 15 years. I had to retire at 55 as I couldn’t do my job effectively any longer. Yesterday was my 69 birthday and my present was a trip to the dentist’s office lol. I saw a very experienced Orthodontist and after X-rays and examinations he thinks he can cure my migraines because I have TMJ. By putting on braces to realign my teeth and jaw it should take the pressure off of the nerves behind my jaw bones. At this point in life I’ve tried everything else so why not. If it doesn’t work at least I’ll have perfect looking teeth. Has anyone else tried this before? I’d love to hear from you.
