This Lady Is Dynamic, and humble as can be.

It`s very terrible that there`s not any consensus about TMJ/TMD in the academic world. Every professional has a different opinion about it. And it`s terrible for the patients.

Yes this was very useful. I learned a lot. You’re a great teacher- thank you.

Outstanding program. It all made sense for this long time TMJ, osteoarthritis, etc. person. I am grateful that I didn't go down the permanent change route the doctor referred to even though it was pushed by so many of the providers I went to. I get the adaptability part. I understand that after 4 hip surgeries, so I feel like I have a new tool box now to work with. Thank you for a great program.

Thank you so much for this lecture

I'm glad the ear pain was brought up. That is the worse with the TMJ to me. I have to talk a lot, and by the end of my work day, I'm in a lot of pain.

Brilliant lecture!

Very informative, thankyou

awesome video please continue to share

I am in so much pain from my jaw I looked it up and apparently it might be tmj I find it really difficult to sleep and I’m in so much pain it hurts to open my mouth

My issue is Crepitus. I hear/feel crunching each time I open my mouth. Also moderate pain on wide opening but Crepitus is mostly my problem?

Nice video!!! For clearing doubts abt splint

Hi, I'm a patient with diagnosed bruxism. I recently felt pain in one of my jaw joints, but it went away after a week. During the pain I went to dentist and he suggested me wearing splints JUST at night to prevent my teeth from wearing, and to help cure the painful joint - is it OK to wear the splits at night, or can it cause some more trouble for the joints?

Everyone who suffers from Tmd: you should check if you have a TONGUE TIE first and get it released, that’s often the root cause other than posture. Lots of people have resolved chronic pain and issues just from getting the tongue released and doing mouth and body posture exercises along with tmj exercises.

Do you have a reference list for this please?

What if u can’t open ur mouth wide but and u have no pain while trying to open ur mouth wide? Because I have ear pain and when I move my jaw it kinda hurts my ear and I barely can open my mouth and when I open my mouth pretty wide it doesn’t hurt.

Botox gave me some much needed relief. I still have to stretch my neck often. At the very least it can shed light on which muscles could be causing the problem. It didn’t fix it completely but it focused me more on my neck than my actual temporalis or massetter. Posture and mobility exercises help. Being a fuddy duddy and being lazy is terrible for tmj.

Ive had so many treatments yet my bites still off ive has dental bonding teeth shaved down, multiple different Mouthguards and even has wisdom teeth removed... And ive has botox into my facial musxles 4 times yet its not getting better they refuse to do surgery's tho here in the uk...

@ Dr. Jehenson : What about Botox injections to the masseter muscles? i clinch my teeth badly and sometimes when i wake up the pain is unbearable! my question is, does it work? and is it just a couple of treatments 3 months apart, or is it a life-long thing? i asked a doctor and he said just a couple of treatments, 3 months a part, so overt the period of 6 months the muscles "forget grinding". i asked a Dentist, and he said, no, its a life-long treatment, one injection every six months. please advise.

I'm experiencing Tinittus, ear pain, associated with dizzinnes what will I do?

actually a soft splint or a hard splint is not a matter of comfort or choice... It has to do with the diagnosis and the treatment plan. A splint is not a piece of molded plastic that fits between your teeth. It adjusts the occlusion in order for the patient to bite as correctly as possible.

23:30 Maybe correct, but I'd like to see what they actually did in those studies. Just because what they did failed doesn't mean there is no correct procedure. It may simply mean what they are doing doesn't work. I'm also not convinced that TMD is a dental problem, but I'm skeptical of vague research claims that don't specify testing or treatment method and extrapolate that to all future testing and treatment.

Thank you! I learned a lot and I am just your basic 47 year old woman off the street searching to educate myself on this new jaw, neck and migraine pain I am getting for a few weeks now. Been going to a decent chiropractor but unable to find relief yet. Went to my dentist today, she said to have chiro work on my jaw joint but if he is unable to get results she would send me through pt. Sounds to me like I may consider giving my beer loving husband an ultimatum so I can reduce MY stress load. Let him have the pain in the neck. Lol.

is collagen good for a person with TMJ disorders?

I agree that splints don't help in fact caused mine. Interesting video however it left out some major issues and treatments for TMJD. I do not believe at all that dental treatment should be recognized as a treatment. I've had TJR both sides and it's the ONLY thing that's ever helped me with function, dislocation and pain. I love my 3D printed joints

madam i need this book kaplan a. s. and assael l. a. 1991. temporomandibular disorders. diagnosis and treatment.

I would like to make an appointment please

trauma during sparing to jaw, Knee to the Jaw, Jaw clicked Backwards, and then clicked forwards on both sides. Immediate Discomfort. I grabbed my Jaw, Pulled Down and Forward, and the leftside, clicked and immediately felt better. However, I have never been able to fix the right rise and it still is very uncomfortable. Please Help! Should i Just Try to pull harder on the right ride? Is it possible to a dislocated jaw to push or close the ear canal?

Does anyone else experience teeth slamming together while sleeping? It wakes me up so I know I do it often and my husband has heard me doing it. I don’t grind but I slam them together very hard, it’s very painful and only happens when I’m sleeping. None of my dentists have ever heard of or seen this before. Can’t find any information about this particular kind of “bruxism”.

I have disc displacement with reduction and every splint I tried made my pain unbearable and overall worse off than I ever had before trying splints.

can anyone explain the self limiting nature of osteoarthritis? I have it in my left tmj and it's reassuring to hear that it has the potential to heal, but i've read of many people online who have arthritis in their jaw joints and end up getting tmj replacements because of how significant the damage is over time. is it self limiting only in certain scenarios/cases? I've acquired a very minor open bite as a result of the osteoarthritis, but have never once felt any pain associated with it and have had crepitus already for 2-3 years.

What about an over or under bite where one part of the jaw has less growth it's never mention

What causes the pressure/clogged feeling by the joint? That is my main complaint.

So if ones teeth don’t agile at all, it’s not an issue? There’s no way for my jaws to rest or my teeth to meet lol that causes pain

Mine slippes frequently while eating,and it is happing daily now,like it goes for picknik every day and comes back with a lot of pain 😓😫

Dear Friends, hope you all are keeping well. I had the same issue and i had spent many days and nights with this extremely severe pain, I did remember one day the pain was unbearable that i even could not sit and kept walking in my room. Hight capacity pain killers are effective for sometime only so i can consider the situation you are into, But luckily, one of my brother in-law who used to be a wrestle visited my home and asked me what happend, i explained him the issue, he said give me some olive oil and i will message you i said okay, He took some oil in his palm and apply on my left side neck and gently started going up and down and after 3/4 minutes he started doing with little bit more power then i had sensation kind of thing in my neck and behind the left ear he kept doing it for few more minutes and instantly i felt relaxation, he asked me to do the same 2/3 time more, i let the oil there and dried it with dray cloth, and after 15 minutes had good bath with luke warm and from that day i am all okay so i would suggest you to do the same. If any question ask me freely. Wish you all very good health.

Can TMJ problem cause tinnitus? I can increase the volume of my tinnitus when clenching my jaw, stretching my neck.

This is antiquated. Pain is pain. This lady needs to spend a week with her jaws partially locked and unable to open much and stiff and in pain. She needs to put up with the pain of arthritis in the Temporomandibular joint and headaches and jaw aches and then she'll shut up about psychology.

Are you available for online consultation.. I am from India

I’m so confused! What the hell should I do? I’m suffering here. I have dizziness, buzzing in my ear, neck and should pain. I can’t take this pain any longer. I’m so depressed!

Hello, is there a way to determine if the lateral ligament or TMJ capsule is torn/detached after trauma?

Dr Jehenson- overall I would say your presentation was excellent. However, I do feel you are misleading the public when you tell people to avoid orthodontic treatment. What should be noted is orthoDONTIC treatment without orthoPEDIC consideration should be avoided. That is, specifically, orthoDONTIC treatment without regard to the position of the TMJ's. There are in fact patients who do respond positively to orthoDONTIC treatment that includes orthoPEDIC correction. Obviously, as a dentist, you can appreciate the implications of a patient with a severe deep bite or class 2 DIV 2 malocclusion. Besides cosmetics, if there in fact was TMD issues, due to the condyles being displaced too far posteriorly in the mandibular fossa, would you not agree that the goal would be to orthoPEDICALLY move the condyles forward into a more "ideal" location in the fossa? As you stated in your lecture- sometimes you see patients that have good joint position but develop TMD, and patients with bad joint position that have no TMD. But the opposite is also true in BOTH situations. As well as some people may respond to orthodontic/orthopedic intervention, and some may not. But don't take it off the table if it will benefit the appropriate patient. If the research doesn't match the clinic, then the research is wrong. TMD is a multifactorial mystery and the methods for treating it are still evolving. Thanks again for your wonderful presentation.

Is TMJ cause problems with n face nerve?

I was diagnose while eating a breadstick, my mom has it, plus I have all the symptoms.

I need help plzzzzzzz for my this pain plzzzzzzzz help me

Thanks for the upload..!!..XD

will braces help tmj?

no pain... no disorder?! Popping and clicking is the disc displacing and reducing. That implies the disc is not functioning as it should. It doesnt hurt yet... but it is the dsyfunction that eventually leads to the retrodiscal tissue getting compressed causing pain and eventual degeneration. Why is the disc displacing and reducing? MRI evidence suggests hypertrophy of lateral pterygoid... the muscle that connects directly into the disc. Maybe we should start working on the pterygoid muscle and address imbalances and postural issues in patients with popping and clicking but no pain rather than waiting for the problem to degenerate further.

Mam i faced the pain in wide opening time of mouth and chewing i how to recover this pls give me a solution😢

I cannot eat it painsand makes a cringlt sound

My mouth doesn’t hurt while opening wide and also I don’t have pain while chewing but I got headaches and neck ear discomfort after teeth extraction for braces please if anybody knows what this symptoms are am getting anxiety

I e recently developed this terrible condition my God man…

i stopped the video at 4 minutes and 26 seconds because i disagree that popping without pain does not imply a "disorder". if the tmj is "popping" then the articular cartilage disk is not in place when the condylar head is fully seated into the glenoid fossa. it also means the the condylodiskal ligaments have been torn. just because a person can adapt to an injury doesnt mean that they dont have a "disorder". i am going to resume watching now

You can't fix a problem if you don't figure out why it's happening in the first place. You likewise can't tell someone what they should do when you can't tell them why they have a problem. There are flaws in thinking and recommendations by many in TMD medicine. They form conclusions about 'the evidence', which includes many quite flawed studies. Studies flawed because the authors didn't understand key points about physiology and why TMD develops. When one understands the reason for a persons TMD, one then can individualize patient care, and in that individualization of care know the solution is the most appropriate to the case. Physicians who try to use randomized controlled trials to find out 'what works' in TMDs, often do not understand TMDs. TMD's are systems disorders. They're not jaws, and jaw joints, and teeth problems. But disorders of systems. A fact that is rarely, if ever, really acknowledged in research studies of TMDs. TMDs are a phenotypically diverse patient population to which RCTs are quite limited in evaluating. The study design itself prevents 'really modeling the problem'. You can't really figure out what works for 'TMD' when every persons TMD is different and requires personalized care. You certainly can't blind the study. You also can't have a placebo. Trying to use Research Diagnostic Criteria that simplifies the TMD population so that they can perform those studies leads to an inherent misrepresentation of 'what's really happening'. And thus, what 'really works'. That physicians provide recommendations upon such flawed thinking is WHY the field of TMD medicine is full of unsatisfied patients. The most important message one can take away from this presentation is that the physician doesn't know how to fix TMDs, therefore, the advise being provided isn't based upon efforts to fix TMDs. Which means, why would they know what does and does not work when they haven't been studying that.

This is riduculous. The whole 'never do orthodontics'! if someone's teeth don't fit and its causign their jaw problems they will have to have braces. have you ever heard of bite pressure tests?

I just have popping and clicking no pain or locking up. I guess I don't have TMJ then lol.

20:00

at time marker 9 minutes and 24 seconds the speaker said that muscle pain in the masseter or temporalis muscles is a common tmj disorder-REALLY????!!!!

4:07 so what the fuck did i have? No pain, no limited opening but clicking, what is this?

In accordance with my signs and symptoms I was clinically diagnosed by a holistic physician as having TMJ and that he had advised this TMJ treatment to me. Right after adhering to the advice for 11 days , it had transformed my life. I experienced comfort of pain due to its distinct techniques. The face and jaw pain had entirely vanished. The tip I am talking about, I found it on Google. Name of it is Cora Tmjocυn hope

I think the lady is overestimating the psychological component in the experience. This is secondary to the pain not the primary concern imo.

Unfortunately, this is not informative nor helpful. It pretty much explains how stupid the healthcare system is and how tmj falls into a gap between providers. It’s fucking frustrating and at this point in my journey, preposterous.

This presentation was pathetic. No any useful information that could translate to actual practice. We need more experimental data than hunch feeling of individual patient adaptation and resilience that practically have no value to a practicing dentist in terms of TMD improvement.

I wish I could give this a 1000 dislikes. I mean where is the information in this video. If things are not adding up, a more scientific approach would be to make adjustments to your hypothesis and look it more closely with more data, NOT RESORT TO USELESS FEELING OF INDIVIDUAL RESILIENCE AND ADAPATATION. Dentistry research is clearly lagging behind.
