After seeing many other specialist I went to a TMJ doctor. Unfortunately the splints that were made kept me awake at night and tend to make me grind even more.

I had custom orthotics made but my jaw was never relaxed with them because my teeth wouldn’t “rest together” right. I would constantly grind on the orthotic and move my teeth around to find a good position to relax in, but couldn’t. Would you say that’s because the orthotic perhaps just wasn’t made right or the right kind, or that I would just need a much longer time wearing it for my mouth to become used to it? It was made after connecting sticky measuring devices to my face to see on a screen where my jaw seemed comfortable most. The orthotics also began shifting my bite, so my bottom teeth would close right under my top teeth, making my smile no longer aligned then. My regular dentist urged me to stop wearing it immediately (the orthotic was made by a neuromuscular dentist).

Hi Doc thank you so much for the genuine video. I have been having tmj issue since 2017. I tried splints. And doing chiropractor as well. But lately if I wear my splint my neck stiffness won't let me live and if I don't wear my splint jaw kills me.. not sure what to do ? Do you have any suggestions?

So grateful for your information that you bring to us. I do have muscle pain on my right side of jaw which I believe TMJD. I wear a nightguard, but feel an orthotic would be better for me. I have had the nightguard for quite a few years, and the guard has indentations from my bites at night. Will the orthotic help with not only the muscle pain but also from grinding?

I have no fever or any fluids coming out of my ear. Also, my upper teeth feels achy.

Hi Dr! I just got diagnosed with TMD disc displacement with reduction on both sides. The doctor wants to use an orthotic for 1 year used all the time except for eating. He wants to re center the condyle and then allow the tissue to form a new pseudo disc in which to properly function. After a year the goal is to then wean to nighttime orthotic only. Does this creation of a pseudo disk sound right to you? He said it’s a 99% success rate if the patient is compliant. Also I’ve had a few burning teeth pains in the past and he suspects trigeminal neuralgia. Could the TN be due to my TMJD? Coils treating the TMd with orthotic fix the TN tooth pain?

Hi Priya. I have had jaw problems ever since I was young and I used to get a lot of pain. The last couple years the pain has basically gone away, but I believe this is because it has actually gotten worse and I am passed the pain stage. I am now 18 and I have difficulty controlling the right side of my Jaw when talking, eating, etc. When I put my fingers on the condyle(bone that moves down when you open your jaw I believe) the right side is almost non existent. You can feel it move slightly, but it's nothing like the left side where you really feel the knob. Is this tmj without reduction or could it be a partial jaw dislocation that I have been living with for a few years? The second option doesent seem likely to me, but I don't have any other explanation as to why the actual bone/condyle isn't as prominent on the right side? Any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

Thanks so much for your videos! I was wondering what kind of imaging you like to have on your patients? I've been told MRI is the gold standard for determining disc position and morphology, while others say a CBCT is sufficient. I'm a little confused about the importance of the MRI, because the TMD specialists who swear by it can't actually read the scan images as they are not radiologists, they only read a radiologist's description. So it would seem the TMD treatment isn't really benefiting from the precise information the MRI provides.

My treatment basically just consists of the orthotic so I got skeptical since like u said my jaw would be changing so the orthotic should also be changed. He expects me to use just one orthotic for 8months.

I wouldn't say it's the most common sign of TMD, but it can happen yes. I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor to rule out infection!

Hallo, i saw your videos about myofunctional therapy and i would like to ask some questions.First, is it good to have correct tongue posture while i am in braces?Second when i try the correct tongue posture i feel like my tongue hurts my uvula in th back of the mouth.Also, should i chew hard gum to use my jaw muscles more or it will make my cheeks bigger and rounder? i am asking all of these considering i have braces with a rubber band on one side and i am gonna get rid of them in 5 mounths(already having them a year)thank you❤️

I wouldn't try to recommend changing anything about tongue posture without first consulting with someone who provides myofunctional therapy, especially if doing so causes pain. I don't recommend chewing gum ever. :)

Hello Doctor, good to know the healing rate at your clinic. I am based in India and suffering severe TMJ pain after a physical trauma and also accompanied by Neuralgia due to TMJ. Is there a way you can treat me and will the neuralgia worsen with the above TMJ treatment techniques you mentioned? I am currently taking ultrasound physiotherapy for some relief. Thank you! Regards!

Hi there! Dental Hygienist turned Doctoral Nurse Practitioner student here. As I am completing a neurology clinical rotation mostly dealing with headaches/migraines I have noticed such a major overlap with my dental career. I wish there were more overlap between dental and medical fields and professionals. I would like to be able to refer more patients to TMD specialists throughout WA. Thank you so much for posting all of these great videos to show just how much of a cross-over there is!

You may want to talk to the dentist that fitted it. It may need to be adjusted. When I was fitted for mine, it took a little time for my jaw to adjust at first. Don’t give up hope.

Hi there. Sorry you're going through this. Unfortunately there are no exercises to bring the disc back into its proper position.
