Hello friends! This video is one that I'm so excited about because it ties together many concepts - how nasal breathing is superior to mouth breathing, why that's important, how tongue ties play into orofacial development and how this can all affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and therefore TMJ disorders!
The headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, jaw popping, jaw clicking, locked jaw, ear pain, etc that you may be experiencing (or have experiened) are likely ALL related to tongue tie and/or airway and the way you breathe (mouth vs. nose). I've included some helpful animations and images that I hope will clarify all of this further. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments.

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! I will also be posting about being a dentist and a working mommy to two wonderful children. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!

hi! i love this video, you covered many topics that I'm interested in. when i was about 6 i started mouth breathing, because there was no other way for me, i had a lot of allergies. i've been to many doctors but no one told me that mouth breathing is bad. about two years ago, when i was 14 i realized that my jaw joint hurts and I also found out i have receding jaw, so since then i like to research these topics. i often feel inferior, because of my problems. besides what you mentioned i also have swallowing problems, but i try to get better every day. i hope I'll recover one day, maybe someday. have a nice day!

Hi! I watch all your videos on KZfaq and I find them extremely helpful as I’m going through a bit of a rough time with my jaw. I opened my mouth too wide and heard my jaw “pop” and ever since then I’ve had pain. I went to the dentist and she told me I have TMJ and sent me home with some muscle relaxers but I wasn’t getting any better.. I was getting worse. I waited 10 days of getting worse before I went to the ER because I was getting numbness and tingling down my neck ( my posture has been thrown off since this jaw problem) I wanted to make sure it wasn’t more serious. When I got to the ER they told me I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. I of course almost collapsed because I am familiar with with TN and I read how painful it is and how it’s a chronic issue. I know my bite is off because my bottom teeth have shifted and I clench my jaw when I sleep and when I am stressed. I really feel like I am misdiagnosed with TN because I do not have sharp, stabbing pain that goes away and comes back. My pain was consistent and dull but it has lessened. I do have a little bit of numbness where my jaw is on my right side and I still have numbness and tingling down my neck. I’m just not sure where to go from here. If I should see an oral surgeon or an orthodontist? Get an MRI? A splint? The dentist I went to didn’t even look at my jaw, look at my bite. I’m just terrified that this won’t go away. Thank you for any advice!!

@theTMJdoc 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Samantha! Sorry you’re going through this - it sounds to me like a combination of TMD (muscle dysfunction causing the numbness and tingling) and an issue within the TMJ (the disc coming in and out of alignment causes the popping/clicking). Unfortunately, dental and medical schools don’t train us practitioners in TMJD so it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. If you were my patient, I would treat you with custom orthotics, myofascial release, and osteopathic manual jaw manipulation. With this regimen, we see numbness, pain, and tingling go down within a month and clicking/popping go down within 4-6 months. Where do you live? How did you find my channel? 😊

@Fivedollarhug 2 жыл бұрын

I immediately felt better implementing a slight suction with my tongue at the roof of my mouth. Wow. My tongue had been feeling crowded recently and I found myself grinding my teeth, and sometimes accidentally painfully biting my tongue and inner lip. I also notice that I feel better with my lips slightly apart, but still nose breathing because my tongue is sealing the nasal airway. We get thin lips as we age and I want to avoid this flattening. There are a lot of facial exercises to help tone the neck and jowl area and this tongue placement is a foundation for the breath, and posture, plus facial tone.

Hi Priya! Great video! I was @ my dentist & 2x both the Dr & hygienist mentioned teeth should never be touching, except when we ate eating. I have watched many videos to learn more. However , I must ask you, (so far since last Tuesday, I have kept w this discipline) but I really want to make sure I am doing it correctly. What I am hearing is the tip of my tongue rests lightly right in front of the gum of the upper teeth, not touching the teeth, & the rest of the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth. I thought you said, the tip of the tongue & tongue rests on the roof. That would make it much easier. Which is correct. It seems more work for the 1st one bc I'm trying to do 2 things, the tip & the rest of the tongue. Tks for your video, I just subscribed! 😁

@theTMJdoc 2 жыл бұрын

the entire tongue should be up against the roof of the mouth with a light suction. however, I would NOT recommend forcing it there if that's not its natural rest position without seeking out myofunctional therapy.

@amylevine4204 2 жыл бұрын

Tks so much, that really helps bc all this time I was just placing the tip of tongue top, just behind the front teeth on gum not touching the teeth. But when you mentioned the entire tongue on top w the tip first, it relaxed the rest of my tongue to a more natural position on the roof of the mouth, not just the tip doing all the work, if you know what I mean. All of this is new to me, it's quite fascinating. Tks again! 😀

I’m looking to start the tongue tie revision journey. I have a posterior tie and my jaw does pop/deviate a bit when opening. Had ortho as a child for underbite. Now I’m wondering… you don’t necessarily always need expansion in these cases right? And do toothborne appliances only move teeth and not safe? (Hear differing things and that only mse works in adults) Also, you don’t necessarily need to spend on an orthotic do you? I assume those are temporary too, and even myo therapy and a tie release can help fix tmj? thanks!!

Unfortunately I had 4 premolars extracted but was always afraid it would worsen my bite and TMJ since I already have pretty bad TMD with joint involvement.

Hi Dr. I am 37yo have TMD, a clencher and have a tongue tie. My doctor wants to do an orthotic first, then once things are settled introduce myofunctional therapy and tongue tie release. Then try to wean off the orthotic with a chance of further bite changes with either ortho or mouth reconstruction. I can't get the middle and back of the tongue up on my arch as it's tied and feels too narrowed. I read that as an adult we cannot expand the jaw because we are done growing and the bones are fused. There have been lawsuits over appliances such as the AGGA, FAGGA, ARA and more which aim to expland adult palates as it caused severe health issues. So if we cannot expand the jaw with such devices what will fix my problem?

Now Imm wondering if I should really get it checked out. There’s no pain or anything but it’s a problem. He didn’t recommend any scans or anything too. Maybe he thought not talking loudly would help but it hasn’t.

Hi Ankita! Where do you live? I don't think talking loudly would affect this but opening as wide as you can potentially could, especially if you're hyper-flexible or loose-ligamented. The clicking/popping could stay this way without pain forever OR it could progress to a locked jaw.

@@theTMJdoc I live on entirely the opposite side of the globe from your place. Haha. This video was really helpful in somewhat understanding what was really going on. I’m not a bio major or anything. I never really bothered to know what was happening. You speak so clearly and in the simplest vocab. Thank you so much. This happened suddenly- one morning i woke up and I couldn’t open my mouth entirely to yawn and I forced it open and it made a tik sound and it’s been that way ever since. I’ll surely get it checked just in case to know if there’s a solution to this problem. This time Im not gonna go to that doc again lol. There was also major language barrier back then. Thanks again! ❤️

I do not have a tongue tie but have been told I have too narrow of a palate which is causing upper airway resistance syndrome. Is it common to develop this for no reason and with no history of tongue tie? And do you recommend MARPE procedure to correct it? My only symptoms are terrible nonstop masseter pain/fatigue and this is the only possible cause we have been able to identify thus far.

@theTMJdoc Жыл бұрын

What is the MARPE procedure?

@Natalie-ft1en Жыл бұрын

@@theTMJdoc Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion. It’s basically a procedure to expand the upper palate in adults thus increasing the nasal airway. This is supposed to allow for better nose breathing (as opposed to mouth breathing) and allow for better tongue posture because the tongue cannot rest in the proper position if the the upper palate is too narrow for it to fit. The thought is that proper nose breathing and tongue in the proper position will reduce the incidence of sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) which will subsequently reduce bruxism. Apparently clenching and grinding is a mechanism the body uses at night to try to get more oxygen and maintain the airway. This is supposedly the link between why some people with sleep apnea or UARS also have TMJ/TMD. Any thoughts?

I don't have tongue tie but my tongue always rested at the bottom. Wish I knew you when I was much younger. My teeth are overcrowded and even invisalign won't correct my narrow arch. Ever since I started "mewing" I've felt much less headaches. Maybe mewing aligned my jaw in a better resting position?

@@theTMJdoc I did not. My orthodontist said I have lip incompetence but didn't tell me about correcting it. So I did my own research and discovered mewing. That corrected my headaches and now my mouth stays shut. I'm surprised my ortho didn't spot my tongue posture issues. Anyway, my son has tongue tie so that's how I found you! I will definitely look into myofunctional therapy though to see if I have anything else going on now. Thank you for your informative video!

Do you have any tips to keep the tongue on the roof of the mouth?

@theTMJdoc 3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't encourage trying to do so unless you've been evaluated by a myofunctional therapist first. If you have a tongue tie (even if it's not obvious), it will strain the muscles that support your tongue too much to force the tongue against the roof of the mouth.

Hi there Dr, im curious, have you come across patients who tell of symptoms of waking up in the middle of the night from bizarre vivid dreams and having to catch their breath back? This happens to me sometimes and I have TMJ disorder, with moderate high tongue tie and suspected misaligned atlas/axis. Im wondering if this is my nervous system venting out from all the built up tension from jaw, upper neck (occiput area)? Also, it seems to happen when I've been sleeping on my back position, I can't remember this happening when I sleep on my sides.

@theTMJdoc 12 күн бұрын

Yes - that’s likely related to sleep disordered breathing. Have you consulted with a sleep doctor or had a sleep study?
