I too had some TMJ problems years ago. I finally found a dentist that discovered my bite was uneven after having some crown work done. He evened everything up and it was a huge relief. It still pops quite a bit and I have to be careful with it, but I don't have the pain or the locking like I was with the uneven bite. Make sure when you bite down that both sides of your teeth meet at the same time evenly. It could be as simple as that to fix. That seems like a lot of money for treatment. Good luck to you.
