Massage Your Masseters! - Priya Mistry, DDS (the TMJ doc)

[@PATButtons]

Oh my gosh, that second exercise! I haven't been able to close my mouth all day, now my jaw feels totally normal. Well, better than normal because I haven't been able to relax it in weeks. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much !! I suffer from TMJD and the pain is unbearable at times. Definitely going to be trying this.

[@theTMJdoc]

Sorry to hear that!

[@willrichit]

Thank you, I’m in tears from the second one so I’ll keep doing them for a couple of weeks if the pain of relief doesn’t go away if I won’t be able to run from Botox anymore

Does this decrease muscle and helps to give a good facial structure?

[@theTMJdoc]

No it does not.

[@briannameyer5280]

This is so helpful!!!

[@theTMJdoc]

Good!!

Is it common to have ear symptoms from TMD in both ears (like pain or fullness), and not just in the ear on the affected side? Thanks.

[@theTMJdoc]

Yes it is common!

[@coltonwilliams1565]

This seems to be helping me thanks

[@theTMJdoc]

You’re welcome! Glad it seems to help! :)

[@j.k7475]

Not sure yet if this helps, but actually feels little better. TLDR, my muscle has been completely fup for a while (over a year) and it has been little disruptive. I will continue doing this and see if helps. ty.

[@ushnaarif]

Do these exercises help with reducing the size of the masseter muscle as well? If yes, then how long should they be continued to be practised for that purpose?

[@theTMJdoc]

No, not necessarily.

[@thalarasiganriyas2566]

I tried and I got a headache. Shall I continue on next day

[@seanmcenaney7116]

Hi Dr. Would tight / overactive muscles of mastication cause hypersalivation

[@theTMJdoc]

It potentially could.

[@theTMJdoc]

It potentially could.

[@seanmcenaney7116]

Thanks. What would you recommend to relax these muscles

[@criminalgaming8625]

Is this help for slimming face?

[@AshishMishra-bt1kz]

Thank u mam

[@theTMJdoc]

You’re welcome!

[@CricAnshu30]

My masseter muscle is weak on my left side .As I dont chew on that side can chewing in the weaker side help in growth of masseter muscle ?pls reply

[@theTMJdoc]

It could, yes.

[@phulchakraborty1048]

Is tounge up exercise good for tmj

[@theTMJdoc]

No it’s not :)

[@Adrenaline_XP]

When my mouth is open when it totally normal and when i close it it seems like i have too much energy here I want to remove it can i do it with your exercises? Please reply 🙏❤

[@theTMJdoc]

By energy do you mean tension? If so, then this may help.

[@Lolski_924]

Hello im going through this right now with pain in my left ear and jaw, i wanted to ask how to stop the fullness feeling in your ears if you have any tips, id really appreciate it!

[@theTMJdoc]

I don’t have an at home solution for this. This can be treated in office with TScan/DTR if you’re a candidate OR with orthotic therapy.

[@kathleenrennie5647]

I have a question, my TMJD is really bad at the moment, it’s so tense & sore all round my neck too, but at night I tend to do this thing where I clench my jaw by creating a suction with my tongue it’s awful & no matter what I seem to do as soon as I’m going to sleep the suction starts, is this something you’ve heard of? I’d love some advice on ways to relax my tongue & stop this. Thanks I love your channel 😊

[@theTMJdoc]

I’m sorry but I haven’t heard of this!

[@keelyjohnson]

I have this issue too. How is it now?

[@kathleenrennie5647]

@@keelyjohnson it’s the same really, I’m up this morning having done the same last night. It’s so annoying isn’t it? I have heard of massaging the tongue with your fingers but when I try this I feel sick, what I need to do is stick to doing jaw exercises regularly. Best of luck with yours too. x

[@AA-cp8ry]

Do you recommend Botox to this muscle to help release this muscle, stop clenching?

[@theTMJdoc]

Please watch this video and lmk if you have any questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIicmoCgqLF-nsU

[@stress-free6163]

I have normal 3 finger opening no pain just a diffuse swelling and tightness around posterior ramus and below ear...what else i can do...if impaction can be the reason of this

[@theTMJdoc]

What does “impacting mean”?

[@ArohiGupta-ve1ty]

One side of my face has big massater than the other one will it help to fix it?

[@theTMJdoc]

Likely not. But it doesn’t hurt to try :)

[@christianskrianz6127]

It's been tight for 1 week now. When will I see any results?

[@theTMJdoc]

It depends on how tight your masseters were to start with.

[@ajalennong2969]

Is it permanent

[@theTMJdoc]

TMJ/TMD can be a lifelong issue if left untreated.

[@andrelewis9002]

I cant open my jaw wide enough to slip my thumb into my mouth...

[@theTMJdoc]

Sorry to hear that.

[@rochellegullab8323]

Can you recommend me some exercise for tmjDisfunction but I don't have any pain in my jaw. I only have this popping and cracking in my ear sometimes if I open my mouth. I only hear it pop if I open my mouth wide . And after that I don't hear popping in my ears if I open and close my mouth in the same time.

[@theTMJdoc]

I'm sorry but I can't really make any specific recommendations for you over the internet and without examining you in person. Please check out my KZbin playlist "TMJ Exercises/Muscle Releases". You will find general information there :)
