if you are not being treated as you want and deserve, you have every reason to request
a full refund and to go to another dental specialist. If the dentist does not

Your history does seem like you set up to develop TMJ. It is not your fault. Do not
let him gaslight you. You should be treated with even more care due the previous injury

Even slight occusual change cause imbalances in the jaw function. Your jaw is also
connected to your skull and your skull bones need to flex freely. Pushing your jaw clearly
has increased your symptoms. Do ask for a full refund immediately.
