I am impressed with your recovery. And sort of envious as well. It took me forever to get past the MMA. I think that tends to correlate with age (I was 48 at the time, I think you're in your thirties).

I had a similar thing to the clicking. I had something that seemed to be vibrating in my maxilla. It went away after a few weeks.

Re- self test: as someone posted earlier this year, you really can't replicate the effects of MMA by moving your lower jaw unless you also move the maxilla forward. Good luck with that :-)

Ah, the insurance. I fondly remember hearing that they would only cover one of my jaws - this, after they had approved the entire procedure six months before. OK, I guess that wasn't a fond memory. The fond memory was explaining to them that MMA is - by definition - a two jaw procedure (DUH!) and seeing them reverse their denial.
