What do you do for tongue thrust?

Dr. Mickiewicz SAVED MY LIFE. Had other things going on in addition to TMJ. Thorough new patient imaging caught it. Been a happy Patient since about 2004 or 2005. Now, I must move to Idaho and quite concerned about my future care. Perhaps, I'll Fly in if I can't find a good referral for my Splinting.

The medical community is finally giving this some attention, it sure took a long time.

What if there was a way to stop the disc sliding down the condyle? Could we keep a salvageable disc up and stop it in its path down the condyle?

My jaw goes off track and I have to do all kinds of moves and massages to get it back moving again. Need help desperately.

Experience the dividing of your spirit, soul and body (Heb. 4.12). That will supernatural heal your joint as well. This 700 page book on the dividing will heal you. But you must be willing to read at least 3 hours a day so it really sinks in. Otherwise you will lose the spiritual sensation. THE SPIRITUAL MAN www3.telus.net/trbrooks/SMCFP.htm

I find nothing works except keeping your mouth in a closed position and stationary (no movement), teeth not touching, and eating on the left side. If I do this the joint and disk heal themselves. If you see these live action cadavers with condyle movement you can see why this approach works, because it avoids the condyle moving forward to the temporal bone as you open your mouth. The aggravation is because the disk might be gone or it is so thin it creates tension. I don't know what's wrong, but I do know I am giving my joint a rest when I stop moving it all the time. Also never sleep on your side. My right side is damaged, my left side is good.

does splint helps for tmj arthritis ?

Amazing.. very informative and genuine

This is so great to watch if anyone out there is dealing with many years of tmj disorder! It explains all the things that lead up to the point where humpty dumpty can't be put back together. I was the classic woman with decreased estrogen who did physically challenging heavy work that I of course did a lot of working out, weight lifting, running to keep up with, suffered multiple head and neck injuries over 40 years, had sinus surgery, an implant in a front tooth that may have helped to misalign my tmj, lots of time driving and sitting at desk working with forward head posture and one day - I woke up with my jaw dislocated after what I thought was a very mild whiplash. I pursued every avenue for help; doc for headaches just wanted to give me drugs, chiropractors said they were sure they would fix it - didn't, massage cranio-sacral therapists helped with temporary relief of pain, dentists worked on my bite, 2 tmj specialists, an arthrosentesis, splint, on and on for more than 5 years. The hardest working joint in the body, the strongest muscles in the body... too bad if they're causing you constant pain. All of this info will be great for being able to asses my next attempt at treatment. Why any diagnostic code that says tmj is not covered by insurance is unbelievable to me. Thank you!

OMG, this was such an ENTERTAINING, not just instructive, session! I know nothing about this and 90% of it was Greek, but because I was just diagnosed with condylar resorption on one side, at 60 yrs old (ugh), I am interested and googling and found you! So glad!! Would love to me you in a cocktail party, you're a hoot! The Salt Water Taffy. ha ha I will watch this more than once! Thanks so much for posting!!

If you got TMJ and it becomes bone on bone and the condyle head starts eroding. How can it be treated?
