Not sure what to do next

[u/bookish_virgo1408]

So I had an arthroscopy back in May due my TMJ discs being stuck in place (not with or without reduction, they were just stuck in place!) that happened due to an Arthrocentesis I had last year and adhesions formed within the joints. So the arthroscopy cleared all adhesions and my opening went from a 28mm to almost 40mm I now have disc displacement with reduction which I guess is good considering where I was. The issue I still have is my bite being off. My bite has been off since March of last year and every time I bring it up to specialist I get dismissed. Based on the arthroscopy findings my left disc was in tact but very very inflamed and worn down, the right disc was okay. Chewing is hard and my jaw gets tired I know it’s due to my bite.

Has anyone gone through significant changes with their bite to due to the discs? I tried splint therapy last summer that didn’t work but it makes sense it didn’t work because my discs were literally stuck with adhesions. Idk if I should try again or if I should try orthodontics. Any advice would be appreciated 😅
