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!

Doctor, does after the cirurgery my eye will go back to normal? I mean the TMJ cirurgy.
Hey Doc! :D Do you practice mewing?
So is it rare for your jaw to lock open ? Mines been locked shut for over a year can’t even get a mout guard because it won’t open wide enough for impressions 😢
This was very helpful, Dr Priya. Thank you very much.
@@Lexweecon you’re welcome!
What treatment would you recommend when someone has the habit of only clenching and grinding with no pain and locking of TMJ. Can night guard work for those?
Hello ma'am, I had an MRI scan and X-ray done for my temporal joints. Everything came out normal, but I still have the same symptoms: pain while eating, quite a bit of pain in my jaw, neck, and temporal region, and sometimes eye pain. I don't know what to do. Please help me.🙏💖😔
Hi Dr Mistry, I have a slight tongue tie. I dont breath through my mouth, my tongue rests on my upper jaw. But my frenulumI is tight, and forward to the front end of my tounge. I did have braces and had to get two upper molers removed to bring my teeth back. I landed on your page because i was looking into tongue tie release reviews. I do snore, I have not gotten a sleep study. I also grind my teeth at night. But i am wondering if i would benefit from seeing a tmj doctor (I live in Canada, Ontario) or if i should get a tongue tie release procedure. I dont know which one would help my snoring. Please help!
What if i have full arch bridge that is misaligned and i tried a splint nothing is working what do you 😊
A great example i learned was from The magic schoolbus But mostly from row boats Same idea Especially in sports where you have a team that needs to be synced
I was told it was okay and even recommended to get invisaline even though I have TMJD. I’m just over halfway done, and the pain is brutal. It’s been brutal. My whole face shape has changed for the worse. I don’t know if I should just stop treatment, I feel lied to and mislead.
I dont have tmj clicking, popping or r limited opening but i have pain dull therein fron of near and inside ear canal mild burning on and off and pain is not same in a day even and sometimes go on alternate days and when i yawn ear popup and pain near neck and mandible joint sometimes when pressed. What it could be ?? Happened un flareups 4 times in 3 years i have forward head posture from childhood days , dont know whether it is linked to symptoms or is it something else.Any idea?? Are these referring to tmd and volini helps too as ut gives cold sensation
I have asthma and as a kid every day in gym class I had asthma issues and they kept pushing me, I always told them my mouth and throat was “cold” and my throat/lungs would be sore the whole semester. But breathing through my nose wasn’t enough air 😢
Same, 🫡 asthmatic with a deviated septum. we live for scarves and hot drinks to keep our throats warm.
Ma'am my teeth are fine and I already have a very wide face and jaw. So, is there any specific tongue posture or any other ways to narrow down them ?
Hi Priya Can you also have pain inside your mouth as a result of TMJ? Can't figure out if it's a flare up of TMJ symptoms or oral lichen planus causing pain in the back of my mouth towards the pterygoid and my inside cheek on the same side?
Is the cameraman running with their lips closed?
Nah they had the camera on wheels if you actually watched
So you don't get a bug up your nose
You mean in your mouth
I have TN and I am wondering if I should attempt to do these exercises during pain flair which last about an hour or in between the pain episode. Which I fear I’ll trigger it… Either way it’s gonna hurt.
What is temporary orthotic appliance and how will it help before permanent one?
You're beatiful
@@Tomluke5823 thank you!
im so tired of migraines, and painkillers:( my splint didnt work out for me i tried various dentists too.
Hi Doc Priya! How long does a jaw usually unlock after getting a splint?
An orthotic alone will not unlock the jaw typically. Please watch this video: youtube.com/@thetmjdoc?si=TW74ouz1AvkiX6oG
Could you please recommend a doctor that mimics the exact treatment procedure as yours in the southern California area
I don’t know anyone there that does what I do. Sorry!
FINALLY, someone who understands whats going on in my mouth!❤😢
I see youre in WA . Can your give me a name of someone near N. E. Georgia?? A cranial facial specialist??please help. Thank you!
I’m sorry but I don’t know anyone there
Hi Priya:) I am a dentist&acupuncturist in the Vancouver area in BC Canada. Thank you for all the insightful and informative videos. I plan to learn DTR as well to maximize the function of Tscan we have in the clinic. 1. Did you get Tscan and EMG ? 2. Have you ever tried to learn ALF therapy?
@@sominkwon3919 1. yes and I love it! 2. Learning ALF therapy is incredibly time consuming and costly and it is Phase 2 treatment. I only do phase treatment currently :)
My mouth is locked and is opening only up to 2-3 fingers. I am having pain near my ears while opening my mouth. This has happened to me before as well but it used to get better within 15-20 minutes but it has been 4 days and it is not getting better😢😢
Sorry to hear this!
@@theTMJdoc it will get better on its own?
Can a TMJ orthotic cause you to get more neck tension and shoulder, clavicle tension?
Thanks! I hope to find a good TMJ specialist to get this.
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).
Thank you for this video I find it very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
is it truth or a myth about tmj/d causes vision issues?
Hi Doc, Can all this orthotics affects your bite?
Anyone know how much these are? I’ve spent a fortune in pillows that look like these but never had the measurement aspect involved.
Best pillow…my neck has not hurt since using. I had to be measured by a chiropractors office & they ordered for me..
@@deborahray2473what was the cost ?
@@seeing_art_in_life it’s been awhile but I think $75.. I know ow it’s a lot, but it has really helped with my neck issues. I have pinched nerves in my neck. It takes a couple days of using to adjust to the pillow.
Curious if you tried envypillow in your 2 year search or if you tried sleeping on a wedge pillow and with another pillow for your head/neck support. I've been doing this and it has seemed to take so much pressure off of my jaw and has helped. Since I started the wedge pillow headaches have drastically reduced. I'm using a wedge pillow then using a envypillow on top that. I'm intrigued by sleepwise though, thank you! Going to check it them out
Hi Dr Priya My clicking and popping sound creates a lot pain in my head neck as well. My mouth opens less now and has frequent headaches. Please suggest
Yayyyyy
It’s the best 🙌🏼
Dr., I have middle ear pressure and vertigo, like everyone in here I have literally tried everything. My question now is this. I noticed that the tinnitus and ear pressure (tinnitus came first) started around the time that I had several extractions and several implants. One of my eye teeth feels loose after the tooth next to it was extracted but my general dentist said there’s nothing wrong. Also, I am missing my upper right molar in the very back but the endo said it really doesn’t need an implant. Can this scenario be causing the ear fullness, tinnitus and vertigo? Specifically, can dental nerve issues be causing this? Thanks!
I was diagnosed with a tounge tie as a baby but for some reason my parents didnt get it cut. So i was a mouth breather until about 10, at that point i got made fun of a little bit and tried to start nasal breathing. Now as an adult I realized i have a tounge tie and want to get it finally cut
Great resource video. Thank you, Dr. Mistry. Should one apply heat or cold packs to the area when dealing with TMJ?
S my doc told it is it true ????
Can you estimate the cost of the treatment of tmj with level 2 that is by using both dayguardd and nightguardd
@@MukulIslam-no3fv I dont discuss my fees on comments. You can schedule an online consultation with me if you’d like more information
Can i consult you online
Need dr Priya mistri clinic to visit??
What do you want to say mam? Will i have to wear it for lifetime as i have bruxism. My night guards are helping me in tmj pain relief but as i leave wearing it ,pain comes back and in the morning i see teeth bites in inner cheeks .
What happens if the ARA changes the bite? What would be the next steps if you have a posterior open bite from the appliance?
Braces or crowns typically.
My ortho told me this when I kept having to come in weekly due to breaking my bite blocks while grinding in my sleep.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that :/
Mam I have tmj problem should I still do mewing
No I wouldn’t recommend that.
@@theTMJdoc thanks for replying
Hello, I had a splint made from an oral surgeon 5 years ago, I don’t know if it’s ok to start wearing it again after that much time
I think it’s best to check in with that provider before starting to wear it again
I definitely need a TMJ orthotic. I use a custom mouth guard at night, because I grind my teeth, which i use most night, but I think it makes my TMJ worse, as the few nights I don't wear it, my jaw feels so much better. How do I find a dentist/specialist that can access and fit me for a TMJ orthotic? I'm in southern california. Thank you
I’m sorry, but I don’t have a good answer for you. I don’t know anyone there.
I would looovvee to come see you, I live in Las Vegas and have awful TMD, no idea where to turn and who to see, do you know of a theripist in Vegas I can see, thanks
I don’t, sorry!
