I was doing some TMJ research when I came across your video. You hit the nail on the head. As we become more advanced and specialists like myself deal with Head, neck and jaw dysfunctions, people need to seek the correct type of treatment for their problems. Myoskeletal therapy is becoming known for its high success in Body balance, and one of those areas is TMJ. And I will use the term TMJ loosely because there has been confusion in the terminology surrounding the naming of the face and jaw, but that's another day. I treat many people with "TMJ" problems, And for decades, people have been programmed to think that their teeth play a huge role in TMJ problems. But are shocked to hear that this is not necessarily the case. It is only about two percent of the time, and that came to be fixed just as quickly since muscles and trigger points play a role; body alignment is the primary focus on TMJ dysfunction. The TMJ is part of the musculoskeletal mechanism related to jaw movement and influences head position. Chin tucks or any other exercises that are not met with bringing the body back

Thank you. This feels more comfortable compared to jamming the chin back. I've seen a video by a PT on KZbin saying that people with TMJ should habitually potract the jaw in posture (and stay there) by up to a few mm's to prevent shearing forces on the disc. I find this helps and reduces my ear fullness but can this be detrimental on the muscles and tmj's in the long term. I have forward head posture and feel that's where my jaw pain and left ear fullness has come from although I do clench like crazy ever since having kids haha. TMJ CT scans have shown that my Tmj's are normal with no deterioration.

This is where a splint can sometimes help, because it gives the jaw a place to brace without retraction. Swallowing is a big one, and if you can learn to swallow using the tongue some of the time, without the teeth coming together, this can be helpful as well.

Hello, I've been having TMJ issues for several months. The pain has subsided but my bite has changed significantly. My front teeth hit and my back teeth no longer touch. I've also noticed that my head posture has moved forward as I've aged. Is there any connection between my head posture and my screwed up bite? If so, how can I remedy the problem?
@BuffaloTMJ Жыл бұрын
Hello! First step is diagnosis. Yes, there is often a relationship between posture, jaw position, breathing and swallowing patterns. If jaw position changes, then the bite will also change. CT scan is probably the most helpful tool here.

I did a test from another one of your videos and have clicking on my right side.

@BuffaloTMJ Жыл бұрын
A deep bite does not "cause" TMJ dysfunction. A deep bite may increase the risk, or the probability, that a TMJ problem could develop, but it's the improper loading of the joint structures by repetitive muscle contraction (clenching, chewing, swallowing) that is most often the CAUSE of TMJ problems. If the teeth fit together in a deep bite relationship, AND when the teeth are together the jaw joints are properly aligned with the condyle centered in the fossa and the disc between these two structures, then a TMJ problem is not likely to develop.

@BuffaloTMJ Жыл бұрын
Those are a lot of very technical terms. I try to communicate using easier to understand words and descriptions. But to answer your question, I see asymmetry on the frontal plane all the time. Your neck muscles have to constantly hold your head steady as you move around, and talk, and breathe, and chew, and swallow. Any injury or dysfunction up or down the vertical myofascial chain requires corrections from above or from below to maintain balance.

In a relaxed position to start. Find neutral. Where does you tongue "want" to be? Ideallly, "they" say the tongue should rest gently on the roof of the mouth. People teach different ways. Personally, I feel neutral now with the center of my tongue "resting" on the center of the roof of my mouth. No pressing, no effort, perhaps a slight amount of suction. Perhaps I'll make a video this month on tongue position.
