It was October of 2024 when my jock locked closed; for reference, I could only fit about one finger in my mouth comfortably. For about 4 years leading up to my jaw locking, I had been experiencing jaw pain, popping & clicking, tightness in my shoulders/neck, temporary (1-3 days) locked jaw, frequent headaches and ear congestion. When my jaw locked in Oct. of 2024 I thought it would be like all the times before where my jaw would eventually pop back into place within a few hours or days. I was wrong. Before I knew it, nearly 4 months had passed and my jaw was still locked closed. I knew I needed to figure out what was going on. I, regretfully, saw a Sleep Apnea Dr. in Denver who claimed to specialize in TMD. I got two separate mouth pieces made that made my condition worse (Waste of $2000) and was eventually referred to a surgeon for a minimally invasive procedure called arthrocentesis- where the TMJ was drained of fluids to hopefully reposition my joint. The procedure failed instantly (Jaw was locked again not even 24 hrs after surgery) and was a complete waste of $3000. After a lot of unanswered questions and money spent, I decided to take matters into my own hands and started researching the condition I had, which was Articular Disc Displacement w/o Reduction. I did not even learn the name of my condition until I started researching myself and interpreting my doctor notes from my care in here CO. This is when I came across Dr. Mistry’s youtube channel, where I started learning more extensively about the Jaw anatomy, my condition and the ways to treat it, particularly with orthotics. I just so happened to be scrolling on Tik Tok one day and Dr. Mistry’s page popped up. I had learned so much from her Youtube so I decided to message her directly with the hope that she’d respond. She did ! I ended up scheduling a consultation and instantly felt safe and HEARD. She listened to my story and all my concerns and symptoms. Nearly a month later, May of 2025, I flew out to WA for my initial appointment in which my condition was confirmed and we completed all my exams and measurements of my jaw to get my orthotics made. I traveled to WA every two weeks for treatment with Dr. Mistry for the first 4 months of care. Every appointment, Dr. Mistry would adjust my orthotics and perform intra oral massage/adjustments and I would TENS for an hour. As I made progress while wearing my day and night time orthotics consistently, my travel to WA became less and less frequent. My last appointment was in August of 2026 after 10 weeks had passed of my jaw being fully unlocked. It is now November of 2026 and I no longer have to wear my day time orthotic, I don’t really have difficulty eating ( I avoid super hard foods), I don’t have ear congestion any more, popping and clicking occurs rarely and my neck pain is minimal. I am so so happy to have gotten to this point after being locked for over a year! To be fully transparent, I paid for everything out of pocket , including the base treatment plan, my travel expenses, and treatment after the initial 9 months that was including in my base plan had passed (about $350 an appointment). Dr. Mistry did work with me on payment plans through out my care journey, which I am so grateful for. It took some temporary life adjustments to afford this level of care and I am aware that not everyone has the means to afford this, which makes my heart hurt. I know how emotional and painful this journey can be living with a TMJ disorder and I truly feel blessed to have been able to get the care I needed. I will also add that I was going to physical therapy (massage & dry needling) through out this journey as well here in CO, which I think helped tremendously with my progression. So, if you have the means to explore care with Dr. Priya Mistry, I would highly recommend her office! Her and her team are all amazing and made me feel welcomed and comfortable every single appointment. They were so accommodating to my situation with having to travel in from CO and truly made my experience great! 10/10 experience !

I met Dr. Mistry during her TMD course and am so glad I did! She made me a TMJ orthotic that has helped tremendously with my migraines. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and I’m so grateful for her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for TMD treatment!

My jaw was locked, and now it isn't! Dr Mistry is super kind and helpful!

I was diagnosed with TMJ as a teenager. At that time the symptoms were mild and the dentist suggested surgery. The headaches and shoulder pain became an every other day occurrence. My dentist recommended I see a doctor that specializes in TMJ. I could not be happier to have found DR. Priya Mistry. She and her staff have been so warm and caring about all my questions and my treatment. my pain and stiffness has been significantly reduced and I can manage without take pain medication all the time. I can’t Thank the Team enough. Don’t hesitate to get started with treatment. You will be Thankful in a very short amount of time.

I feel so fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Mistry. Previously, I had seen 7 different doctors, and still, my condition progressively worsened until, finally, my jaw locked closed. At that point, I was told that surgery was my only option. But I knew of TMJ surgery's low success rate, so I finally sought out Dr. Mistry as a last resort. Being treated by her was completely different. Our first interaction was via video call because I live out-of-state. I had never been asked so many questions about my condition before. My first in-person appointment lasted 2-3 hours, during which I was asked more questions and had multiple tests and treatments done. Within just a few treatments, I could eat fairly normally. Now, my jaw has full range of motion and practically no pain. Dr Priya and her team are amazing!
