yes, it's common for tmj doctors to have vastly differing opinions. I actually do recommend sleeping on your side, as long as you don't push/put your hand against your jaw. As for the self massage, not everyone can reach the lateral pterygoid on themselves.

I am on pause for the joint clean out -arthrocentesis- but with this relief, I’m afraid of messing up a good thing. So moral of my story is massage was life changing. I also felt I could massage jaw gently and it my teeth would align. I loved your video. Christine Byer who is an aesthetician on KZfaq also had a good video. I wanted to post because I do believe the massage and relaxation of the soft tissue has been the foundation for my jaw to find a solution. I do it very gently with the massage and don’t do aggressively. I am amazed after 33 years- my pain has out of no where decreased, no clicking, and I can eat normally.

yes! the soft tissues plays such an important role in TMJD and treating it is vital.

@@theTMJdoc thank you so much for reply Dr. If you can email me your office address, I live in Calgary Canada and please let me know when appointment is available Thank you so much

@@manjitsood4682 to be clear, I’m in vancouver, Washington not Vancouver BC. 😊 is that still going to work for you? If so, I always have a zoom meeting with out of town patients to see if I can actually help before having you come in. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hi! Can you clarify what you mean by "help it yourself?" and by VDO - you mean vertical dimension of occlusion, correct? :)

@@theTMJdoc yes ma'am that's what I mean :) And my helping ourselves, i mean is there posture issues that can worked on that could help it or excercises, etc..

@@t.mshrews6708 unfortunately there are not as an adult. For children, myofunctional therapy and proper tongue posture can go a long way.

@@theTMJdoc so as an adult it will come down to rebuilding work by the dental team?

@@t.mshrews6708 typically yes by orthodontia or composite buildups or crowns. Where do you live? Are you thinking of having this done?

I am not a neurologist and I don’t treat TN. Sorry!

You can have 1-2 cups of coffee a day but I wouldn't recommend more than that.

If the main issue is tense jaw muscles, I’d recommend my videos “releasing the masseter”, “releasing the temporalis” and “releasing the lateral pterygoid” over the 6x6

Thx, will check those out. 💫

@@xyhmo you’re welcome!

You can email patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com to set up a zoom meeting. I don't use those appliances for treatment.

We treat with orthotics and osteopathic cranial manipulation. I'm sorry but I don't have an at-home solution for this.

@@theTMJdoc thanks for your reply. As you know, most doctors and dentists are reluctant to treat or even diagnose TMJ. My GP has recommended trying a few alternative health options, inlcuding laser accupuncture, osteopathy or Bowen technique. I'm in South Australia.

@@adde65 try prolotherapy

Yes, we do not agree on this point :)

@@theTMJdoc Ma’am yesterday morning all of a sudden I woke up with a muscular spasm in the upper trapezius muscle and now I’m in ER they’re doing multiple meds muscle relaxers, Toradol, lidocaine patches , heat packs etc and nothing is helping me. I’m telling them it’s cuz of TMJ but the docs here say TMJ doesn’t bother you here and now they have done a cervical spine MRI

@@theTMJdoc I can’t move/ turn around my head. Can’t even lift my head it’s on the left side though… But I’m screaming out of pain may be cuz I slept with a lot of stress later night, when I woke up I felt terrible. Infact ma’am I would request you to please post some videos on how one can get rid of the stress.

Mountain Peak Nutritionals Osteo Formula :)

I think facial yoga is wonderful! I"ll do a video on this soon. Thank you for the great idea!

Hi Dr. Addy - I hadn't heard of Pterygoid Hamulus Syndrome/Bursitis specifically. Having said that, many of my patients present with you symptoms and we treat them with custom orthotics and myofascial release with success.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you if it's serious or mild over the internet and without examining you in person.

Hi there! Sorry you're going through this. I explain the clicking and popping in my video called "Jaw Joint Noises - Snap, Crackle, Pop!" Please watch and let me know if you have any questions.

Be sure to make them aware of your tmj condition! Hopefully with this knowledge, they will be as gentle as possible!

I think it's on Amazon! You can use it on your masseters.

cold can be helpful sometimes but not always.

Best of luck to you!

Hi! Yes - great question. It's usually due to chronic clenching, chronic bruxing, sometimes the way the teeth fit together, history of injury to the head, neck, jaw, spine, or pelvis. There are a lot of factors that can throw the muscles into a dysfunctional state!

I can’t make specific recommendations for you over the internet and without examining you. Can you come see me at my office?

I"m sorry but I cannot really answer your question over the internet, without examining, and without knowing how the orthotic is designed and the prescription built into it.

Sorry to hear this. Please watch my video “how to stop clenching & bruxing”. It has good tips to help stop this activity during the day. I don’t know how to stop or limit it during the night..

Typically you would have to pay out of pocket. At my office we offer payment plans. I’m not sure if other offices offer that option.

you can email my office at: patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com You can request a Zoom Meeting. :)

I don’t like to give too much advice without evaluating you in person. It’s best if you see a TMJ Dentist or TMJ Physical Therapist in your area for more information that pertains to your specific condition.

Dr. John Kim in Irvine comes recommended. good luck to you!

@@theTMJdoc THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK REPLY. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

@@SANELYSAHIL you’re welcome!

Yes and the pain can be treated by a skilled and experienced TMj dentist.

Please share your symptoms with me if you feel comfortable doing so. I would like to help! Sorry you’re going through this.

@@theTMJdoc I have really bad cracking and popping in my jaw, the severe aching, migraines, and the ear ringing at times. Its very cold where I live right now and as the winter has set in my jaw has been so inflamed. Usually its both sides but when it's just one side you can literally feel the temperature difference of each sid from the inflammation in my jaw. Sleeping and concentrating when my jaw is aching so bad is nearly impossible and it feels like I want to rip my jaw off. I have oddly shaped ear canals because my jaw is not straight which leads to seriously mean ear infections and aches. I suspect it was all caused because I grew up biting my nails and its a bad habit I havent been able to kick because of anxiety. The jaw clenching is real and I try to keep a relaxed jaw but my muscles in my jaw are so strong now they never relax fully. I sleep lying on my back if I can because the pressure hurts from the sides and the pain sometimes will radiate down into my neck and shoulders. Ive gotten so frustrated because nothing helps and massaging hurts, ive thought about seeing a chiropractor to get advice and maybe other relaxing drugs that are natural like medical marijuana cause I will admit I have tried it before and it helps to relax my jaw and almost makes it feel like is cooling down. TMJ qualifies for a medical marijuana card because it can be chronic but I'm only 19 so I would look more into as a last resort. Ive had other people massage my jaw and neck area with peppermint essential oil and I think it helped take sinus pressure off but I didnt have relief for long. I found Facebook groups about TMJ to see if I could get advice cause thats how desperate I am. It feela like someone is slowly stuffing my head with cotton and the pressure just keeps building.

@@theTMJdoc Thats a lot sorry. Thank you for being so attentive to your viewers its so nice. 🙏🏻

Where do you live? The way we would most likely treat you is with custom made orthotics that put your mandible in its optimal position relative to your maxilla, myofascial release, and osteopathic manual jaw manipulation. We usually see pain go down within a month and jaw joint noises and problems go down within 4-6 months.

@@theTMJdoc Oh my gosh that sounds like a dream. I live in the pacific northwest of the United States. Oregon actually. I was diagnosed by an ENT in my area but never got any help other than a prescription for tylenol which now doesnt work.

Usually not directly, no.

Thank you 😊

I don’t think chewing any gum is great for your jaw :)

@@theTMJdoc I would have to agree with you sadly. I say sadly because I love it, it makes me forget about the neuralgia, but it has also built my temporal…i(?) too large for the head aesthetically, I feel. I can chew any steak though 😂

It’s hard to say without examining you. But yes if your palate is too narrow, it’s very difficult if not impossible to get your tongue up against the roof of your mouth.

@@theTMJdoc would placing ur tongue in the roof of ur mouth applying decent pressure cause tmd? Because at the time i started having jaw pain and clicking sounds on my jaw i was practicing good tongue posture and was applying a decent pressure with my tongue on the roof of the mouth.thank u for ur time btw!

Sorry to hear that!

3-4 x per day

I would recommend seeing a TMJ Dentist.

@@theTMJdoc Is it not ok if I don’t see a dentist for some time, cuz COVID is spiking up and I don’t really wanna go to the clinic.

Hi Erika! I’m so glad you found this helpful. The way we get rid of the popping is by making custom made mouthpieces that align the jaw properly to allow for optimal healing. This is called an orthotic and is very different from a dental nightguard. Along with that, we do myofascial release and jaw manipulation. We see the popping go away within 3-5 months typically. Please do Subscribe to my channel if you find it helpful! I’m doing a video on the difference between dental nightguards and TMJ orthotics soon!!

Are you clenching?

@@theTMJdoc my teeth don’t touch each other, but i do have the habit of retracting the jaw. Pulling it backwards, horizontally. It seems like i can’t stop doing it

@@maiabh yes I would try to break that habit. Watch this video and use the method described in it. The video is to help people learn how to stop clenching their teeth, but this same method can also help stop other habits.

It’s not bad to sleep on your side, just don’t push your hand against your face/jaw when you do so.

@@theTMJdoc that is helpful. Thank you

@@nancyhansen7103 you’re welcome!

No I do not. The people that come to see me are in severe pain and/or have incredibly unstable jaw joints and we do not ask them to chew gum through this as it can make things worse.

@@theTMJdoc Agreed I am dealing with TMD/tinnitus because of 20 years of constant gum chewing!

hi I chew a lot of gum. do you think this habit can lead to jaw locking?

The only thing I can think of offhand is don’t rest your face/jaw against your palm. And if you have concerns about sleep apnea, definitely get tested! :). Do you want anything more specific answered?

@@theTMJdoc i mostly sleep on the left side. My right side is tighter. Is that fine to sleep on the side? I read better not buts its quite hard. 😌 if i lie down on my back i always tend to move my head on the side.

@@nimrak03 it’s not really too much about sleeping position to be honest. With a good orthotic and the right therapy and a sleep test if needed, the sleeping position shouldn’t matter.

@@theTMJdoc oh i see. Thank you :)

@@nimrak03 you’re welcome! Please reach out if you have any more questions!

Well, you can't press on it forever right? :)

@@theTMJdoc I need help

Sorry to hear that! I hope you are well soon

@@theTMJdoc Ma’am Sure ,where are you practicing currently?

I’m sorry but I cannot suggest specific treatment for you over the internet and without examining you in person.

Thank You very much for your reply. I think it's difficult to meet you as I live in Karachi city. Again many thanks

Sorry you’re going through this. We treat with orthotics, myofascial release and osteopathic manual jaw manipulation. This can take 4-6 months to resolve.. Where do you live?

@@theTMJdoc I live in india.I don't have enough money to get treatment.will the pain go away or will it become dangerous if I dont get the treatment I was depressed when i read your reply message.is there any self treatment to cure my pain on my own?

There is not much you can do on your own unfortunately. Is there a TMJ physical therapist you can see? They are generally less expensive than TMJ dentists..

@@theTMJdoc Ma'am , my jaw pain is really decreasing day by day. I think i dont need to get treatment. Now, i am able to chew food without pain but i am not able to open my mouth fully. i am hoping the pain will go away in 2-3 days. If the pain remains same i will definitely consult you Thank you for your reply messages.

@@vamsisaikrishna I'm so glad your pain is decreasing. Definitely stay away from hard/tough to chew foods and don't yawn or open to your fullest until you feel completely healed. Best of luck and feel free to reach out at any time!

Yes those can help!

Do you have TMJD ?

@@theTMJdoc They tell me I do. Waiting to get to a specialist here in my country..

Please watch my videos on orofacial development, tongue tie, tongue posture, etc. I believe strongly that the proper tongue posture is against the roof of the mouth with a light suction :) we can also agree to disagree and that’s ok! 👍🏼

I don’t agree that teeth should be touching at rest. There are too many variables that can affect the jaw joints and the muscles in an unfavorable way - crossbites, deep bites, etc. We can agree to disagree, however 😊.

Hi Tinii! Thank you for your comment. A locked jaw can cause bite changes. Please watch my “jaw locked closed” videos. Does this seem like your condition?

Hmm.. I've never heard of that happening.

Going through TMJ pain?
