My jaw cracks loud when I open it beyond a certain point. My TMJ gives me anxiety, because the muscles in my jaw go into an involuntary twitches at random times. I am so grateful for these videos because I didn't know what I had wrong with me for so many years.
New to your content. Thank you for this video. I’m too far away to sign up for your protocol but I will implement what I can. My TMJ on one side was injured during wisdom teeth removal surgery and no diagnosis as the time. I noticed an increase in grinding and that the upper teeth on that side got pushed up into the jaw over time as the lower jaw sat higher. Over the last almost 30 years I’ve managed to achieve a life with function and very little pain but of course lots of snap crackle and popping in the jaw. It sounds like you are familiar with hypermobility disorders and I believe that for me this explains this injury as well as many other mysterious and unusual injuries and subluxations over the years. I’ve been looking for a supplement to support my much more hypermobile children and this looks like the one. Thank you again!
I noticed how incredibly high the dose of manganese was in the Ligaplex supplements, which caused concern about potential toxicity. I’m not really clear on how manganese is detoxed from the body and if over 1000% of your daily value is considered safe. I’d love to get your thoughts on the matter before taking this product. Thank you!
Hey there!!! I really need your response.... Since I've developed infection in tooth ive developed heaviness in jaw and clicking in jaw and pressure in ears and crackling voice in ears when swallow please tell me is it bcz of infection or I've tmj
Doctor Priya, what if jaw joint are stable on mri but maxilla and mandible are wry towards one side more? Would cbct scan of facial skeleton be helpful?
Dear Dr Priy, magnificent video, so useful information, thanks for sharing. I'll try to get these supplements in my country. About the guard, is it always necessary when it comes to treating TMD? I'm asking because I was so excited about getting my guard, but after tomography, radiography, dental print, photographs and physical examination, my Dr. discarded the possibility for me to use a guard, and confused and sent me directly to orthodontia, because I was pretty sure the guard was the best treatment for TMD. Thank you
Thank you for all your videos. I have limited opening of 25mm and a strong deflection to the left on opening. I did 4 months of physical therapy where I went from 10mm to 25mm. I recently had an MRI and it said my left condyle is "markedly eroded" and the disc appears "diffusely degenerated". Do you suggest exercises like this or do you think they will just erode the condyle more? Thankfully I don't have much pain and the tmj specialist I saw said to stop doing stretching exercises and to come back in a year if any pain started. I'm trying to be proactive but don't want to make things worse. Thank you!!
Hello doctor, I Watched your video about mewing. Normally my tongue is always touches the roof of my mouth when I close the mouth. Is that a mewing by default or do I need to press the tongue hard against roof of mouth When I press my whole tongue (back part of tongue) against roof of my mouth, I cannot able to breath.
I would recommend seeing a provider who is trained in myofunctional therapy rather than trying to change your tongue posture on your own as this could strain muscles and cause pain.
Thank you for such an informative and helpful video. I love all of the resources you provide on your channel. I'm curious: do these exercises actually help get the disc back where it's supposed to be? I'm worried about wear and tear on the bone so I would like to get it back to a safe place to prevent any bone issues. Thank you.
Theoretically they can help the discs get back in alignment but it would take a really long time (several years) with these exercises only. An orthotic and manual manipulation would speed things along.
Dr. Can u pls do video on diff between disc displacement without reduction and arthritis . Symptoms seem to be the same on the internet. Pls explain how to identify them. Mine is DDwoR. I heard it progresses to arthritis if not treated properly. So I would like to know the difference bw them. Thank you for serving. My respect increased on Dr profession after my tmjd.
Doc firstly i had a clicking sound On my right side of my jaw now is cured but now when i eat something like chapati , papad like things etc...... Than a huge loud sound came off onto my right side of my jaw while eating from my left side of jaw but when i eat anything into the right side of the jaw the sounds were not coming any solutions?
My jaw cracks on the right side sometimes. Especially when I eat burger or open my mouth wide for anything. I'm really scared. Do you think It's a big deal? 😔
My ear popping/jaw joint noises increased after doing invisalign braces for 2 years to adjust my bite which did help my jaw pains overall but my ear pain/discomfort is still ongoing. I also have a displaced disc on my right side but the noise popping comes from both ears. Any idea if this was aggravated by my braces?
It's a number of reasons - the muscles can be too tight, the disc can start to change shape. The anatomy of the articular eminence can also play a role.
Hi doctor, my left side ear,head feels like freezed.. sometimes feels stuffed ear..I feel uncomfortable..back of ear and shoulder is tender.. which exercises should I practice? ENT doc said my ear is fine.please help out

Wish I could find someone help me with my debilitating jaw issues after a year of horrible symptoms still fighting to keep going and maybe oneday someone help who knows about how to treat severe TMJ because where I live near Sydney no one knows how. Very sad
@@theTMJdoc Can I ask you have you ever seen a patient of yours with such severe TMJ that they literally struggle to walk so off balance or do you believe TMJ cant possible do this. I have severe TMJ to the point just eating, talking, brushing teeth makes me very dizzy even getting stressed or upset makes it worse too. But the scariest part is now I have the inability to walk I have no feeling of gravity like the ground is water.... does this sound like something TMJ could do or something more like TMJ causing neck issues.
@@theTMJdoc I have been like this a year now and I'm not getting any help from anyone I'm really scared now and worried my little boys want have a mum soon. Dont know what I can do to help myself as drs specialist hospital dont believe me when I say it's from my TMJ jaw.....they make out I'm stupid.
Other then an orthotic as I cant find anyone to make me one they dont know how....is there something I can do to help myself try get my balance back and dizziness improved or gone. Thanks
Thank you! Channel has been helpful. Learning a lot and now my jaw doesn’t shifts laterally as much anymore. Still does but not as dramatically. Planning on doing deep tissue face massage 2-3x a week. Law of facilitation is real 😆
I got an accident and went to hospital and get released, after a month it's starting clicking and popping my jaw it's gonna be 4 months with noises. And I can't get back to hospital because of covid. I don't have any idea please help me. Thanks❤
Braces are wonderful to move teeth. I cannot tell you much beyond that but sometimes they can aggravate jaw joint noises and sometimes they can alleviate them.
@@theTMJdoc thank you for the information. I would suggest you to look into the videos made by neuromuscular orthodontist dr prabhu raman who has enlightened regarding this and has given his opinions.
@@Knowhowskanda I agree! Dr Raman is wonderful. I address your questions more in my video “phase 1 vs phase 2 tmjd treatment “. However I cannot speak to braces causing joint noises specifically regardless of which video I watch because that is highly unpredictable.

I’d definitely recommend asking your doctor this question. I have not studied clinical nutrition and I don’t feel comfortable answering that.
I felt relief pretty quick with the 6x6 exercise. But then again, I have very mild joint noises that only I can hear
Im glad you felt relief!
Dr.Priya,
Nice information on How to Reduce Jaw Joint Noises!!
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Subscribed and liked. Thank you :)
Thanks for the sub!

A CBCT is always helpful to check the condition of the bony components of the joint.

hey doc i have throat pain while talking and jaw joint noises.. is TMJ the reason for the throat pain
I Really cannot tell you that over the internet and without examining you in person.
@@theTMJdoc ENT examined the vocal cords and said it was fine
Why is it so difficult for the displaced disk to get back into position?!? Is it the over worked muscles and inflammation that prevent this?
It's a number of reasons - the muscles can be too tight, the disc can start to change shape. The anatomy of the articular eminence can also play a role.
how do i tell the difference between ear fullness/popping my ears and popping my jaw joint?
It's hard to tell sometimes because they're so close together!
I hear a click in my right jaw everytime i do chin tucks for my neck pain. It is not painful but the clicking sound bothers me. Is that okay?
I’d recommend having a TmJ dentist check it out. I can’t tell you over the internet and without examining you if it’s ok :)
Hi doctor, my left side ear,head feels like freezed.. sometimes feels stuffed ear..I feel uncomfortable..back of ear and shoulder is tender.. which exercises should I practice? ENT doc said my ear is fine.please help out

But no sound when I open and close it normally
Sorry to hear this.
Does clicking noice causes bone loss? I hear lit bit clicking noice whole opening my mouth wider???is it dangerous?
It can cause bone degeneration within the joint over time. This is typically a slow process.
