These videos are really helpful; I am a chiropractic student and I am learning a way to adjust the cranium and the mandible is a very important bone to balance: the TMJ and sacroiliac joint have the most propioception of all joints. When a patient's hips are off it will effect the entire temporal mandibular joint complex. I hope chiropractors and dentists can work more in the future together to solve TMJ problems.

I was scheduled for athrocentesis for my left joint. I started doing massage. For three years I had severe pain 24/7. I could not eat any!! food on that side.. nothing - nor yawn without stabbing pain. I do feel there was some bone degeneration - as I’m post menopausal (but on HRT now). Suddenly I can yawn and eat hard!!! food without pain. I can only believe it was the massage and relaxation of the soft tissue. I have postponed the surgery. This was a three year ordeal of acute pain and 30 plus years of loud “clicking”. I was told there was bone breakdown (mri, CT) What I think happened is the massage relieved the soft tissue and the bone reshaped and maybe found a new position for the disk? I had to wait 9 months to see the surgeon so I’m kind of own my own here. So simple to find so much relief. I had my 1800 saved up for my copay.
@13nlsc Жыл бұрын
I am on pause for the joint clean out -arthrocentesis- but with this relief, I’m afraid of messing up a good thing. So moral of my story is massage was life changing. I also felt I could massage jaw gently and it my teeth would align. I loved your video. Christine Byer who is an aesthetician on KZbin also had a good video. I wanted to post because I do believe the massage and relaxation of the soft tissue has been the foundation for my jaw to find a solution. I do it very gently with the massage and don’t do aggressively. I am amazed after 33 years- my pain has out of no where decreased, no clicking, and I can eat normally.

I really appreciate U Dr. Priya, I just found U today and really happy about Ur teaching being so organized and comprehensive.🌹 And also really appreciate U bringing the caption which really helps me to get the anatomy terms.👍 I would like to ask a few following up questions related to this video : 1) U mentioned about NOT to open the mouth to the MAX, and suggested only 6x6 times in exercise for lubricating the joint. My question is what if my opening is relative narrow, and I saw several Other KZbin from either oral surgeon or TMJ specialist suggested to do the Ah sound to open the back of the throat which also opened the mouths at the same time as part of my tongue exercise for helping Sleep Apnea, etc. ? So is it common that experts in this field have different to almost opposite views about this? 2) about the side of the Jaw, U mentioned about not to sleep on the sides. But I have sleep apnea, I could not fall asleep in Supine position, and so I got doctors suggested me to sleep on my Sides. I do fall asleep faster on the sides. But as U suggested that affects my Jaw. So What do I do? 3) about self intra-oral massage, for the Lateral Pterygoid, I understand from U and other videos that I need to go to the end of the last molar to the soft tissue area to give some push/ or say expansion or massage, that is my area of confusion after I have tried. I do not know exactly where to massage or push in terms of direction. As I can go to the soft tissue push against the direction of the upper pallete root, or in parallel to the end of the upper pallet. This is the best way I can describe as a layman to dental terms. It would be really helpful if U can help me with the above questions. And thank U in advance❤🙏
@theTMJdoc Жыл бұрын
yes, it's common for tmj doctors to have vastly differing opinions. I actually do recommend sleeping on your side, as long as you don't push/put your hand against your jaw. As for the self massage, not everyone can reach the lateral pterygoid on themselves.

Trying the 6x6 I feel a strong resistance right away (which I don't really do when opening my mouth in the normal position), and my tinnitus goes haywire. I guess that means I've run straight into some very tense jaw muscles. My main problem isn't pain or clicking (only occasional clicking, though crackling is frequent) but precisely tinnitus, which I'm sure is in part jaw/neck related. I clench my jaw during sleep (done many years) and have a mouthguard, and at one point a long time ago my jaw was so tight i couldn't open my mouth enough to eat solid food. Just looking around for exercises/advice, good video.

Hey doc, I'd like to know if my TMJ disorder is serious or if it's just mild. I've got the clicking noise when I open my mouth but it's when I open my mouth wide and the clicking noise It's very low (other people around me can't hear it, only I can) and for me to be able to hear the noise, I have to put my mouth on a specific way just to occasionally hear the clicking. However, when I fully open my mouth, I feel like a bone right before my ear on the right side of my jaw is moving a bit to the right. I'd like to know if that's normal, or if it's serious. And finally, I don't have any problem fully opening my mouth (except for the slight feeling of the bone), and I don't have any pain while I'm eating/chewing but my right side of the jaw is a bit swollen. I'm applying some ice to reduce the swollen area so hopefully, it'll go away within a few days. If someone knows if my TMJ is serious or mild, please let me know. Thanks :)

Hey Doc Priya, Hope you are doing great, I wanted your opinion on this condition called Pterygoid Hamulus Syndrome/Bursitis . I'm medical doctor (just completed my medical school) and I diagnosed myself recently with this condition after unsatisfactory results I have had with couple of doctors. They would go back and forth between differentials(TMJD, Eagle's syndrome, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, myofacial pain etc.) without ruling in the possibility of pterygoid Hamulus Syndrome. My left pterygoid process is sharp, prominent and tender. Sometimes I get this sharp stabbing intractable pain which radiate to ear, face and temples and is not relieved by NSAIDS/opiates. My left upper third molar tooth has pain and hypersensitivity to liquids which I think is because of this Hamulus syndrome. I need your help badly, I've been looking for some competent doctor who can understand my problem and after watching you on KZbin I think you are that person who can help me with this. Kindly reply. Thanks in advance. Sincerely Dr. Addy

Is it normal for the back of my tongue touching my back teeths cause i guess my front palate is too narrow
@theTMJdoc3 жыл бұрын
It’s hard to say without examining you. But yes if your palate is too narrow, it’s very difficult if not impossible to get your tongue up against the roof of your mouth.

This is so helpful. Every time I ask a dentist they’ve just asked if I have a night guard. I have chewed through multiple night guards. I get jaw pain and headaches often. I end up putting a lot of pressure on my joints while sleeping. I do realize that caffeine and sugar starts making my jaw muscles start to clench up and then I start opening my mouth and they start popping. How do we get rid of the popping?
@theTMJdoc3 жыл бұрын
Hi Erika! I’m so glad you found this helpful. The way we get rid of the popping is by making custom made mouthpieces that align the jaw properly to allow for optimal healing. This is called an orthotic and is very different from a dental nightguard. Along with that, we do myofascial release and jaw manipulation. We see the popping go away within 3-5 months typically. Please do Subscribe to my channel if you find it helpful! I’m doing a video on the difference between dental nightguards and TMJ orthotics soon!!

@@theTMJdoc I have really bad cracking and popping in my jaw, the severe aching, migraines, and the ear ringing at times. Its very cold where I live right now and as the winter has set in my jaw has been so inflamed. Usually its both sides but when it's just one side you can literally feel the temperature difference of each sid from the inflammation in my jaw. Sleeping and concentrating when my jaw is aching so bad is nearly impossible and it feels like I want to rip my jaw off. I have oddly shaped ear canals because my jaw is not straight which leads to seriously mean ear infections and aches. I suspect it was all caused because I grew up biting my nails and its a bad habit I havent been able to kick because of anxiety. The jaw clenching is real and I try to keep a relaxed jaw but my muscles in my jaw are so strong now they never relax fully. I sleep lying on my back if I can because the pressure hurts from the sides and the pain sometimes will radiate down into my neck and shoulders. Ive gotten so frustrated because nothing helps and massaging hurts, ive thought about seeing a chiropractor to get advice and maybe other relaxing drugs that are natural like medical marijuana cause I will admit I have tried it before and it helps to relax my jaw and almost makes it feel like is cooling down. TMJ qualifies for a medical marijuana card because it can be chronic but I'm only 19 so I would look more into as a last resort. Ive had other people massage my jaw and neck area with peppermint essential oil and I think it helped take sinus pressure off but I didnt have relief for long. I found Facebook groups about TMJ to see if I could get advice cause thats how desperate I am. It feela like someone is slowly stuffing my head with cotton and the pressure just keeps building.

The way we would most likely treat you is with custom made orthotics that put your mandible in its optimal position relative to your maxilla, myofascial release, and osteopathic manual jaw manipulation. We usually see pain go down within a month and jaw joint noises and problems go down within 4-6 months.

I don’t agree that teeth should be touching at rest. There are too many variables that can affect the jaw joints and the muscles in an unfavorable way - crossbites, deep bites, etc. We can agree to disagree, however 😊.
