I’m so glad I found your videos! They are incredible, thank you. Looking through them and struggling to find an answer to a question I have. I’m a third of the way through Invisalign. How can I treat my TMD? I can’t get a splint as my teeth will be continuously moving. How do you treat patients like myself? Thank you

[@theTMJdoc]

I cannot do treatment while your treat are actively moving. Sorry! Once Invisalign is over, then you can seek TMD treatment:)

​I'm in interest to getting braces but I also suffer ear pain from my tmj should I still get it, and if so would physical therapy help in process with the braces?

Hi, I just got my daytime orthotic and nighttime guard to help reposition my jaw into the right spot. It has helped so much with my clicking and grinding so far, but I was wondering if for the first 1-2 weeks of wearing it, if it’s normal to have soreness around my jaw area? Im assuming this is because it’s repositioning my jaw and it’s a lot for my body to take on, but is this usually normal early on when you first wear the appliance?

[@theTMJdoc]

Yes this can happen but it’s best to ask your TMJ dentist..

[@taz9371]

Hey Doctor, thanks for all the work you do. Can TMJ cause tensor tympani syndrome?

[@theTMJdoc]

Yes!

Should you always do the muscle release exercises even if you don’t feel pain? Do you just do it when in pain? Sometimes my pain is worse after and I don't know if i flare it up. Thanks

[@theTMJdoc]

only if you're feeling pain :)

Do you have any knowledge of ETD? (Eustachian tube dysfunction)

[@theTMJdoc]

Some, yes. But I’m certainly not an expert!

[@Onmysheet]

@@theTMJdoc Would you say ETD is connected to the sternocleidomastoid muscle?

[@theTMJdoc]

@@Onmysheet I think it could be but I cannot definitively say
