Mam is. This TMJ is a serious problem

[@Niru_official.com27]

Hi dr jo Jaw is very painfull Always painfull Headache

[@emersonalvarez8687]

It worked thanks love you

[@AskDoctorJo]

You should try to do them at least 2 times a day until the pain starts to decrease, then you can do them once a day, until you don't feel any more pain. For maintenance, you should still do them 2-3 times a weeks for several weeks. I hope that helps!! Good luck!!

[@donutqueen1598]

I was in such extreme pain, close to tears and the last exercise gave me relief almost immed!! Such a blessing

[@Okay1-e5m]

Same I was crying and I have learned to leave it alone and not bother with it

[@nvmm166]

@@Okay1-e5m that is my problem aswell, I can’t stop thinking about it an constantly touch it, these stretches and massages help so much it’s crazy

[@chrishowson3243]

I always thought it was normal for your jaw to click and pop when talking/eating and for it to feel sore at the end of the day, this is amazing! I’m going to try these every day for a month and see if you can save my health again! Love you Dr Jo!!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

I hope they help!

[@myedits_ava]

I AGREE! Ik this is a VERY late reply but I always thought it was wisdom teeth problems and everyone would have It and it was normal. Bro this helped SO MUCH Im just mind blown rn.

[@PickJimi]

@@AskDoctorJo How often do you recommend these stretches should be done? Once a day? I wouldn’t want to over do it.

I chew 4 gums for 4 hours everyday and I think it gave me tmj lol now I get irritating sense in my ear sometimes haha

[@k.v.a._varsha]

Did the pain reduce

[@CraftyyFruit]

Omg I have chronic pain from my TMJ disc displacement it’s been 4 months and I lost 20kg and got depressed and my mum rushed me to the ER 2 weeks ago after taking 900mg of tramadol on accident in the night due to the pain :( but luckily I threw up some of it so the doctor at the ER said my blood sample was not dangerously bad. I discovered your video on box breathing and pursed lip exercises soon after the night at the ER and then I found this video you made 11 years ago! I’m so happy, thank you so much Dr. Jo you’re a life saver! ❤❤❤

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I hope they help.

[@carmzlegaspi8475]

OMG! I've been experiencing jaw clicking sounds for few months now and having a hard time to eat normally since I'm afraid my jaw might locked. Jaw clicking sounds started after a year I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed. I have bite problem since my teeth are not aligned well. But thanks for this video! after trying the exercise, I can open now my mouth without the jaw clicking sounds. Hopefully this gets better and better... Thank you so much!

[@amirafieya]

Does ur tmj gone now? Cause im currently diagnosed with tmj and its kinda irritate my daily life routine. I tried the massages to treat that but it just gone for a while and coming back again. Idk how to treat it 😭

You're welcome!

[@sunny_runny_eggs]

Thank you for this!!! My jaw used to click but has since escalated to a dull ache, as if a rubber band is pulling my jaw together, in the left side. Hurts especially when I eat. This really helped ease the tightness. It's incredible...thank you:)

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.

Plz it's a request kindly reply me

[@CHROMATICFILMS]

Out of all the TMJ stuff I have seen on YT this one worked the best for me. Thank you : )

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!! And thanks for the shout out!!

[@sarahstockton7097]

Same!!! Its 322am, im in pain but so grateful for this video!

[@CHROMATICFILMS]

@@sarahstockton7097 I think that what happened is that I just adopted a better facial posture/attitude if that makes sense, I learned to relax my face and jaw. This video kinda pointed out what was going on and I used it to develop positive habits. Not had a single problem since very soon after I started doing this. Generally now I just let my jaw hang a little while keeping my mouth closed. Keep at it hope you get over it very soon.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Yes, just make sure you don't push through pain. These should be pain free exercises and stretches. Good luck!!

[@hrekkjavaka83]

This helped so much. It’s twice this year I’ve had TMJ pain and this helped relieve it within minutes.

[@Funkikitty]

As someone with a chronic illness that affects almost all my joints ur videos are so amazing 😭❤️I’ve only been watching for a about 1/2 and hour and your giving me the most relief I’ve felt in years.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@AskDoctorJo]

Magda G. A. Many times doing a massage at the TMJ helps. Using a warm compress for 5-10 minutes before you massage and stretch might also help loosen the muscles up. Good luck!

[@JardineFlower]

Can pain radiate to the top when u have TMJ?

Dr. Jo, I was looking for some TMJ exercises and yours were the first that I saw listed. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for the instant pain relief that I felt!

You're welcome!

[@GamerChick214]

I've had jaw pain on and off for the past year. It started when my braces came off, the orthodontist "realigned my jaw". That's when I started to experience the intense jaw pain. Normally I would wake up and the pain would be so intense, my head would hurt and I ended up vomiting. This REALLY helped. I couldn't thank you enough.

[@AskDoctorJo]

GamerChick214 You're welcome! I'm so glad they helped. Good luck!

[@spoonicorn8712]

OMG!!! I was super stressed out about a month ago and was grinding my teeth in my sleep really really bad. I have had TMJ for 20 years so it’s pretty loose in there now so it rarely flairs up. Well after several nights of some serious teeth grinding, I woke up super sore and couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to eat a hamburger off the value menu. I just saw the picture on this video in the list for TMJ pain for a friend and saw what looks like her grabbing her jaw and pulling it forward (hadn’t watched the video yet) so I mimicked it and my jaw popped back into place. I didn’t know it was out of place to that extent! Now I can fully open my mouth!!! Brilliant!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@AskDoctorJo]

It definitely sounds like a TMJ issue. Try these stretches for a few weeks. If you don't get much relief, then you should go see a doctor. You can also get an order from a doctor to try dry needling from a PT. It works really well for TMJ issues, but the PT has to be certified to do it. Good luck!!

[@tepytepytepy]

My jaw have been hurt alot everytime I eat, now my ear in pain too, it's been almost a month the pain didn't go away, i will start this exercise for routine. Hope this make me feel better.

[@brehorneker220]

This exercises have change my whole outlook on my tmj in just a few days. for 3 years I've dealt with, popping with every jaw movement, pain, migraine...ect. This have helped so much, that I'm opening my mouth for the first time without hearing my jaw pop in 3 long years. and my pain has disappeared. I wish I would have found this video sooner! Thank you so much

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I'm glad it has helped.

[@bheaFul]

Breanna Horneker me too. Every time I yawn there's a bit of pain after. And i can hear my jaw popped. I cannot move my mouth and there's a discomfort. Now I've tried this exercise and i must say that it really works for me! Thank goodness.

Is there a medicine that you can tell me to relieve the pain? I already did the exercises but there are still pain in my right jaw

[@TheCowgirlangel]

This helped me so much! I saw an acupuncturist, got a mouth guard from my dentist, and saw 4-5 chiropractors. The last chiropractor helped by putting a glove on, and using her finger and adjusting the joint, but it wouldn't stay. These exercises have finally relieved my pain, and I can keep my jaw in place. Thanks!!!

@Sophie Spielger Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you need to go see an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist.

[@Erik7prc]

I've been experiencing something weird. I clench at night with suction if that makes sense. I have a bad habit of moving my jaw to one side. usually to the right. its harder to move to the left. i think i do this to satisfy my anxiety. its starting to affect my speech. It seems like I have to concentrate to talk. my jaw feels out of alignment when I talk.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You should really go see a TMJ specialist or even an ENT. They can do a full evaluation and help you figure out exactly what is going on. It could be an easy fix. Good luck.

I’ve been biting on plastic spoons… it’s instead of biting my nails. Thing is now my jaw rlly hurts and I have a hard time closing it. It feels out of place…… ;-;

[@edwardbliss8931]

I've had this for the past 2 weeks. It was misdiagnosed as an ear infection, when in fact, a second opinion revealed it was actually TMJ. On the one hand I'm happy to know the cause. On the otherhand I'm out $35 for antibiotics I hardly used.

[@sunshine0576]

Glad I came upon this video. After suffering incessant pain, just the three exercises gave me more relief than any painkiller. Thank you!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@AskDoctorJo]

[@rawlife3424]

[@AskDoctorJo]

If you haven't tried these yet, hopefully they will help. Good luck.

[@melissa90ify]

update! My "tmj issue" turned it to be a wisdom tooth issue lol. Had it extracted and got immediate relief

[@AskDoctorJo]

I'm glad you found out what was going on and are feeling better!

[@ludaChriss22]

HI Dr. thank you for the tips. Just wondering, my TMJ discomfort is on my right side. Should I do anything different? Also, do you have a link to any more stretches or do you have any more tips on TMD relief? Thanks so much for the help, ill take whatever I can get!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! It is often on just one side, so you would do the same exercises. I don't have anything more right now, but I am working on another video. Good luck!

[@josh0001100]

HI Melissa, I hv the TMJ similiar pain and have impacted wisdom tooth but most of the dentist not recommending to take out just wondering if you explain ur pain bit more or any suggestion might help me out ? thnx :-)

[@clowning2473]

You just saved my life. My right jaw kept hurting when I opened my mouth. It clicked and when I tried to eat something it just hurt so bad. I love you 🥺

[@AskDoctorJo]

Glad it helped!

[@TehChelly]

Thank you so much! I woke up this morning with horrible TMJ pain on the left side of my face. After doing these a few time I can already feel some pain relief.

[@AskDoctorJo]

I am glad to hear! Thanks for sharing! Good luck!

[@hikkrzminzzy5946]

I’m suffering in silence I was told this January I have this problem it’s too painful I don’t know what to do seriously

[@AskDoctorJo]

Have you tried the above exercises?

[@hikkrzminzzy5946]

AskDoctorJo I did I felt a bit relief

[@AskDoctorJo]

Hopefully doing them consistently will help.

[@hikkrzminzzy5946]

AskDoctorJo I hope so thank you

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome.

[@melissa90ify]

I'm so embarrassed because I actually work for a dentist who has prescribed night guards and small devices that prevent the teeth from coming into contact (clenching); but according to some patients, they don't seem to work or are super uncomfortable. I clench in my sleep and have what's called a crossbite so my jaw aches on one side and one of my canines is actually crooked from the forces of my bite over the years. I'm getting invisalgn soon, but hopefully I can use these tips in the meantime. I've been taking ibuprofen like tick tacks to get through the day and sleep comfortably 😷

[@melissa90ify]

invisalign** (alternative to braces)

[@AskDoctorJo]

I hope these help. Unfortunately, many of the devices that are suppose to stop clenching actually encourage it. When they go all the way to the back teeth, it makes our jaw want to clench more. Good luck!

[@toffykat]

melissa lamisere Did you end up getting Invisalign? Did it help??

[@ghostmalones]

I'm having the SAME issue. Clenching. I'm scared ill break a teeth one night. :( what do i do?

[@Ohkeh640]

AskDoctorJo what devices

It really works. Today im suffering jaw pain and I stumbled to this video and give it a try and it helped me to lessen the pain. It's a relief.

[@TheGuidermichael]

I used these exercises to help me with a really bad episode of trigeminal neuralgia. Many thanks! It really helped me! The key is to do it VERY gently! I had been using motivationaldoc's video, but I was not doing it gently enough. I hope this helps someone else with TN. Instantly after doing this I had a lot of relief and could write this post, but 20 min after doing this I feel totally back to normal!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I'm glad they helped.

[@_juIes]

Oh my gosh, thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH! I looked up how to unlock a stuck jaw from tmj and clicked on yours, my jaw WAS stuck for 9 hours and goes in and out. I did the first exercise you showed and it did the job. Thank you so much. I tried everything even my grand parent who was a nurse didn’t know what to do. So this helped so much thank you.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome.

[@sprintzr2171]

I’m really glad I found this video and am going to start doing these asap. I have no idea what I did to my jaw but the joint hurts so much I can barely sleep. Any little bit of pressure brings pain so hopefully this brings some relief

[@AskDoctorJo]

I hope they help too.

[@sandranader4993]

Omg !!! Thank you so much , my jaw was hurting me so much whenever i eat or talk or even open my mouth , once i done these exercises all the pain left . I still can’t believe it worked . Thank youuuu

[@AskDoctorJo]

[@toxicedits4978]

i haven’t gone to the doctor for any jaw pain and haven’t even had any prior to this morning. my sister has tmj so i’m thinking it might be a family thing. i woke up this morning with a terrible pain on my bottom right portion of my jaw. this video really helped!

[@SpaceSeedSpaceSeed]

Yo i just did one of your technique and my jaw pain went away instantly! Great video God bless!

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks! Glad it helped.

[@Katstix]

Oh my goodness thank you!! 3 days of this discomfort and it got most painful today. I even called the dentist for an appointment but she's only available in 6 days. Tried all of these and my jaw is so so relieved

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@p.wright361]

OMG, my jaw has been hurting for so long and just doing this while watching your video has given me some relief! I'm so glad I found this video!! Thanks so much!!!
