TMJ and TMD: Symptoms, Relief and Self-Care

- Diana Hearn, PT, DPT, OCS, leader for the Musculoskeletal team and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Program at Penn Therapy & Fitness, shares tips on relief and self-care for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) pain and TMD.
The TMJ connects the temple bone of the skull to the lower jaw bone. TMD is a condition that can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint, the muscles that control the jaw or both.
Signs and symptoms of TMD include:
•Painful clicking or grating in your jaw
•Painful locking or clenching of your jaw
•Pain while talking, chewing or opening your mouth wide
•Headaches and neck pain
•Pain, ringing or fullness in your ears
Hearn suggests the following things to avoid:
•Opening your mouth forcefully, such as while yawning or yelling
•Crunchy or hard foods
•Taking large bites of food
•Foods that require prolonged chewing
•Chewing gum
You also should take notice of habits, such as biting your nails, chewing your cheeks or lips, resting your jaw on your hand, or clenching and grinding your teeth.
Hearn shares best practices for TMD pain relief and teaches how maintaining your jaw position, correcting your posture, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep can help you relieve TMJ pain.

I have tmj and I feel like this pain is never going to go away 😞
Same
Did it went away?
Did you struggle with your eyelid to close
We all have tmj but only some have tmd
How long until it went away?
Me being a senior in highschool and apparently having this... also a choir student. I just found out today yes I have been crying all day thank you🥺
I found out today too. I’m a singer and this was such awful news to receive 😔
@@Ella-hg4cq Hey bud It will go away , don't panic , do your jaw clicks or popps , Hope you get well soon and able to sing son beautiful songs
It’s not that bad lol
Y’all will be fine
@@franco468 it’s pretty fucking horrendous, definitely shouldn’t ignore it lol
@@DogeCoinInvestor I mean it really hurts sometimes but my dr said not to worry about it
I had all the symptoms and was up late at night in so much pain the general self care reallyyy helped Thank you!!
What things that were advised did you do? I’m curious.
She didn’t recommend anything lol
@@guitarlearningtoplay cuz ur not allowed to on youtube
Everyone who suffers from Tmd: you should check if you have a TONGUE TIE first and get it released, that’s often the root cause other than posture. Lots of people have resolved chronic pain and issues just from getting the tongue released and doing mouth and body posture exercises along with tmj exercises
Can u please explain it some how broadly I am in these pain I could eat properly and tomorrow is my exams so please if possible ...
do you mean bad tongue posture?
@@ZacharydeLima yes sir i think 🙏🙏
Omg iv had this for yrs
I'll try...thx fellow human being...
I appreciate your information. I have finally acknowledged that I have a problem after 27 years of having my jaw pop and go through pain that I mask with alcohol. I will address this with my physician. I know I'm not very smart for bringing it up earlier but I was raised to suck it up but now that I'm older I feel I can say something. Cheers 🍻
I just started getting TMD last week it was way worst than it is now ..I think it’s do to my jaw being shifted for loosing teeth over the years in the past I was homeless and on the streets and barley went to a dentist and teeth would get bad they started to come out on there own now I’m back in my feet with a roof over my head but this jaw thing is so aggravating I hope these tips help thanks
omg the posture itself helps relief my aches even my sinus, thanks.
Really useful tips 👍
I had TMJ surgery where they cut both jaws and moved them.... 26 years later and I think I have it again....except back when I had the surgery I had no pains but amazing insurance so that's why we did this as a preventative. I don't have that kind of amazing insurance any longer and never will have it again. I'm a little too frightened to have it confirmed I have TMJ as I don't have the funds these days to afford another lengthy surgery.
Thx for sharing. It helps. Hope you are able to manage the pain
This selfcaretips are very, very god ! Specially the restposition of the tongue helped me a lot!❤😊Thank you so much !
Thank you very much for the information
This, although insightful isn’t a long term realistic approach. It’s nearly impossible to live life if you follow everything that was said, plus the sleeping aspects you would need to be restrained practically to ensure that you don’t move. She is clearly reading the same general description that is all over the internet for TMD. Not trying to bad mouth her but I’m not a doctor but please consider what I’ve written below as a possible approach for you if you’re suffering from this.
I have had severe TMD my entire life (almost 40 now), have been grinding my teeth in my sleep as well since I was a child. Prior to knowing about my TMD condition I kept going to my primary care doctor complaining about different pains, neck, chest, shoulders, headaches etc. I knew about the grinding in my sleep and always attributed the jaw pain to that.
My doctor kept sending me away and eventually said he thought i may be a hypochondriac and to consider mental health treatment. Finally I went one day for something totally separate and he was in shock and said he noticed something. He asked me to slowly open my mouth and said I’m sorry you’re not crazy, I think you have TMD.
I was referred to a neurologist at UCSF. She did some tests and explained that our jaw muscles have the strength to crush our skull/face but our brain prevents it. Apparently I had one of the worst cases she had ever seen, i had crushed and broken a bunch if teeth etc.
Anyway basically what she said is the synapses in our brain that fire to the maxillary and face muscles DONT turn off thus put our face neck in a constant state of exercise and tension. It can be so slight you may not notice it. Because it is actually a brain issue no amount of soft food, not singing, hot tea or meditation will help. There are only two true known treatments for this that I’m aware of. One is a surgery where they break the jaw and attempt to realign it, over time the constant exercise of the jaw due to the brain can cause misalignment so breaking it and realignment can help with the pain….but it’s not permanent and only successful 50% of the time.
The second treatment is the one I tried. It changed my life. The neurologist injects 20 shots of botox along the jawline around the skull and the back of the neck. Botox makes muscles atrophy and non responsive (why celebrities use it for wrinkles) it basically prevents the muscles from constantly reacting to the synapses your brain is sending. You can still function normally with this treatment and let me tell you it changed my life. You’ll have to go typically every 3 months for a round of shots but it’s covered by insurance if you have it. I swear it is the best and only treatment that works if you have a bad case of this. You may have to ask around or explain to your primary care in depth about the treatment. I had moved and found my new doctors were unaware of the treatment until I mentioned it and they did research. Give it a shot, probably the longest comment I’ve ever written but I hope it helps you, I know what this pain is like.
Thank you so much. I was just diagnosed with this and the pain is the worst I have ever felt. If I continue to struggle with this then I will definitely look into the Botox option. As it is, my dentist refuses to prescribe pain medication. I fear I am about to overdose on Advil, Tylenol, AND Aleve 😢
@@kitecorbin3914 solgar. 7 for joint for inflammation it’s helping a lot
Thank you lady, hopefully this will help, I am in much suffering right now
Sorry about that, I'm also feeling the pain and I hope it goes, cos it's very unsatisfying and stressing
How is it now
? Better?
@@AF-Tab_Alam Yes very much, I kept the routine and after few weeks, I felt very much better, just had to take off the pressure from my jaws clamping! Don't know why I'm just getting this
Thank you very much. I only now noticed how many things I did wrong. Now I'm going to focus more
Me too.
🙏Whenever there is a problem with TMJ or mouth opening, chewing food, you would like to tell you from experience that while eating food, keep equal amount of food on both sides of the tooth inside the mouth and chew it slowly or eat soft food, hard things like Do not use copra, gram, brackish etc., exercise the mouth daily before going to sleep at night and after waking up in the morning and keep taking protein and calcium in the diet and be happy.🙂
Do u have tmj still
Bro if we dont chew food with teeths as u said to prevent from tmj, Our lower jaw will not have weakness or get longer? Did ur face or lower jaw get longer by chewing food without touching teeths? Pls reply
good suggestions,
my entire left side of face is affected, jaw joint and tooth and forehead and sinuses are all painful on a daily basis, your suggestion above is very good,
@@diauser3327hows your jaw, face feeling?
That's a totally marvellous day?
Not wishing to scare anyone who's experiencing TMJ - But I suffered with TMJ for years. I had two bad teeth with cavities, that my dentist at the time said best leave, as they are very hard to remove. I continued on for a few years, then I the pain through my jaw and teeth was unbearable and chronic, and would cause unbelievably painful headaches, and my jaw and teeth would be in agony. I then went partially deaf in my right ear - the side where a majority of the pain was coming from - I went to the hospital, they tested my hearing which they said was fine. The doctor told me I may have TMJ and should see my dentist. To cut a long story short, I was eventually was diagnosed with a brain tumour after I collapsed and had a seizure. Basically the pressure of the tumour was causing the pain and my jaw to be misaligned. As soon as they put me on steroids to reduce the swelling, my jaw realigned. I'm sure mine is a fairly unique case, but for anyone experiencing similar symptoms, please don't do what I did and just soldier on through the pain, get it checked out. I'm still sure my teeth had something to do with it, but either way, I wish I had got it sorted out a lot earlier.
I have tmj. I strongly suggest never chewing gum and when you eat anything large (apple, hamburger, sandwich) just cut it up and eat it with a fork and knife.
The optimum jaw position for singing does not involve over extending the jaw and so does not aggravate TMD. Incorrect jaw posture for singing will aggravate TMD.
Some people with TMD can’t open their mouth at all
My jaw is popping and clicking, and I always have head ache sometimes stiff neck. I wish it will get better
You need to start using a mouthguard asap. Especially when you sleep.
@Knuckles I have had this when I was probably 13 maybe 12 I couldn’t remember when it was like to have a normal jaw😂
@N i have it for 10 months
I have it since 17 and now I am 21 , the pain getting worst due to I always eat harden foods ,glad to know that I m not alone
Does anyone get vertigo??
I constantly bite my lip by accident, especially when chewing gum... And its in the same spot over and over, it bleeds and is extremely painful. But I'm a gum addict. I also suffer from severe headaches, migraines, and neck pain.
Thanks so much lady
my tmj only Locks my jaw. I dont hve any pain in my head. But ive found a slight work around for myself. I take a waterbottle cap and chew on it for a bit. When im dont my jaw no longer locks and the clicks is minimal. I can go almost the rest of the day fine
I'd like to suggest a question you should ask all of your TMD/TMJ patients, "Have you ever experienced any issues with Bell's Palsy or Facial Paralysis?"... I am currently experiencing my second round, and having done a lot of research I am realizing a correlation as I had an issue with jaw locking a few days beforehand.. This is the only article i've found "Causal Relationship of Bell’s Palsy Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction".. Just thought I'd share.
I had bells palesy in 9th grade and have tmj now. But I have to say I got tmj in the 11th grade after wrestling with someone my jaw popped and it has been jacked up since. But I recently started getting muscle twitching in my lip “only 1 day” but it brought back terrible memories of the day before I got bells palesy because my face was twitching all over. My tmj is currently flaired up and I have lots of issues. Stiff neck/ back. Clogged ears with ringing, vertigo, slight tension head aches. My jaw pops constantly no matter how wide I open it, it permanently stuck shut almost. It’s tough, it causes me a lot of anxiety because it flairs up out of nowhere and I think I have a serious health issue and then I realize I have really bad tmj.
I also had Bell’s palsy recently for the first time and back in May had a tmj incident where my jaw was stuck open. A few months later, in December I had another tmj incident and my jaw was stuck open again. It has given me more anxiety than I already had and really hope I don’t get bells palsy again because it was terrifying. I also think tmj and Bell’s palsy have a connection.
Thanks will have a look
I had bells palsy now I have tmd
I’ve experienced Bell’s palsy on the right side of my face last year, the same side my jaw has always had problems with clicking or popping.
I have a deep bite and had one of my molars pulled last year. Since then I got TMD, it's clicking and locking when I open my mouth and talk. Now I'm seeing the dentist and preparing to have Invisalign adjusting my bite. Hope my TMD will be repaired.😌😌
Did Invisalign help? I wish you the best because I'm dealing with the same thing
@@ChampagneThrottle my dentist told me I had tmj yesterday and made me do an impression for a night guard, it's a lot like the Invisalign, did you ever go to the dentist for it?
@@gothicspace3067 I have a night guard it’s useless

Very helpful. Thank u
I think I have tmd but the thing is that I struggle to close my eye lid on my left side
My jaw pops and clicks so bad. It's so frustrating and painful
I have this issue, how do I readjust my jaws when they get stuck?
everyday i lay on my side on my bed for most my day, i’ve been having sharp pains sometimes behind my ear and i have tinnitus, is this problem caused by my laying on my side?
What are tests I can ask for to find out the cause ? MRI’s?
Came here from chef aj speaking to kikipleintiful video huge thx didnt kno what it ment dmj
I always get TMJ when I attempt to floss my teeth in the most rest of my mouth.
Any advice?
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hv tmd is occurs always after I wake up then releases after like 2hrs wht should I do to stop it
Excellent helpful
I don't know what my problem is, but I seem to get relief from things like chewing gum etc. It's almost as if when I don't use my jaw the muscles get really stiff and are painful when I first move them, but after moving them for a while they get better.
I have TMD and it causes my ear to feel stuffed
@@BelCantoLari mine too it comes and goes as well but whe it’s clogged it really stresses me out
Does anyone experience vertigo as well??
Does anyone was having A symptom like voice of popping sound while chewing and then after a time popping sound converted certain kind of pain while opening your jaw near your ear...
@@starlite7785 I experienced vertigo, along with sharp ear pain, ear stuffiness, and the occasional ear ringing. All the symptoms completely caught me off guard, I had no idea all this was connected to my deep overbite and TMJ. If you google ‘Are TMJ And Vertigo Related?’ there’s an article on Colgate’s website that helps you better understand why it’s happening, what to expect, and methods on how to help you feel better in between doctor visits.
@@starlite7785 yea I do
I have horrible gum pain right on back I remove my teeth my gum still hurt is it possible tmj cause gum pain on back I can't even touch my gum it hurt very bad
Thanks madam
I just had this i really do think its tmj and not ear problems i really want this to be gone and my parents hate for me to go to a hospital at this pandemic and i really do want this removed cause of how much it hurts ;-;
@CLaW bro current condition
Does anyone know if you can actually cure tmj/tmd? Or just treat it?
I need advice. I've had ongoing ear pain and neck and jaw, my doctor today told me I have tmj , it's worse when lying down so I'm not sleeping, it's my first time so I don't know what to do. I'm on anti inflammatory and paracetamol and using hot compress. Any tips on how I'll actually get a good night's sleep?
buy a pillow designed to support your neck and use a mouthguard at night to prevent jaw clenching. these worked pretty well for me!
@Amogus, 4th Floppa Corps, C company. did the dizzines go away?
Any updates? I just started experiencing this as well and have not gone to the doctor yet, but I am going to the dentist as I thought it was related to me teeth.... now I am afraid to go as it hurts when I open my mouth :( I am very lost on what to do? Haven't slept right in 4 days and counting:(

How is your jaw and face feeling?
Can flat plane splint make it worse and I'm suffering severe Dizziness and now struggling to just walk as floor feels like water so unsteady my legs.
Me too im suffering severe dizziness too
Is their any pain mrdicine i can use for my TMJ pain?
My jaw is clicking ..... What should I do?
Does TMJ cause numbness in 1/2 of chin?
My jaws dont click, can open to the widest without any restraints or pain but it hurts when i clench, move my jaw sideways and while chewing
Is it still there or not
Same here man. And I have little tiny spasms in my neck
@@MAMP me too :(
My jaw is feelinf really hot, aches amd is falling backwards, my front teeth are forward while my bottom teeth are digging into my gun behind my teeth, help
sounds like your grinding. Your teeth should not be touching your gums like that. Try CBD oil to help you relax. My jaw joint is messed up from constantly grinding don't let it get to the point where your joints are messed up. It's horrible. I'm not sure about your jaw all of a sudden sliding back. I've always had an overbite though.
overbite?
Had TMJ for some years now I'm 22 now. But recently it had cause severe pain on my right neck muscle. I have been massaging it but it only releases the stress for a moment
try peppermint essential oil. or sometimes i make peppermint tea and use a cloth towel to help relax jaw muscles as well as my neck and shoulder muscles.
Do you experience vertigo??
@@janelduggan2464 do you experience vertigo and wake up in morning feeling dizzy?
Same here, my left jaw is clicking since I was a kid, I also grind my teeth when Im sleeping and it made it worst, now my erupting impacted wisdom tooth on my left jaw made it more worst
@@starlite7785 I experience vertigo on my TMD
My right jaw clicked when i slide it to the left and downward, but there is no single pain when it does. But I'm on a heavy headache right now.
Before this, i clench my jaw right-left and the teeth make sounds so i kind of make music from it for more than a year, maybe it's one of the reasons.
i have no pain (thankfully), but my left ear is always itchy. its sooo frustrating. It goes away if i lower my jaw. could this be tmd or tmj?
Yes!! That’s exactly how it started for me. The itching can get more and intense over a few years as the TMD progresses. Then begin the headaches, jaw pain and ear aches!
Hello im from switzerland im very sick i cant go outside for months im sick for 18 years i have 7 teath removed in the under chin
does tmj affects teeth? my 4 teeth hurts
I'm 14 and my jaw locks everytime i open it. Is this TMJ? I always have to readjust the position of my jaw so that I can open it fully. Also, I don't have any pain it's just locking and faint clicking on my right side jaw
i am 16 and idk if this is tmj, it’s hurt and while i open my mouth it’s hurt and feel under of my ear (jaw)
It’s only gonna get wose bud my jaw crunches every time I open
Im 14 too... The one side of my jaw hurts whenever I open my mouth and the other side clicks
Im 18 and this recently started. Id say we are lucky because we have no pain just the jaw locking. What i do it chew on a bottle cap on the side where my jaw locks for a couple mins. Then it stops locking for almost the rest of the day
I'm 17 and I have clicking noises time to time and my right jaw when opening it comes first before my left also I have a face drooping on the right im scared :( I got it a year ago I think
I'm going through hell right now because of this issue. I ignored the warning signs for a long time now it's in a place where it's unbearable and I'm desperately trying to get relief.
Next time using a heating pad on Medium level
What is the early 1st sign plz help
How is your jaw feeling?
Basically just sit upright and don’t move. 😂
Can someone tell me if tmj can make you feel faint and dizzy or does walk make it feel worse ?
You can feel dizzy my Dentist Dr Urbanek in Brentwood TN is helping me right he asked me did I get dizzy. He is a TMJ guru for here in TN. I'm waiting on my mouth piece to be made. I feel really good about he's expertise. Hope you feel better soon.
@@ms.e9393would you mind sharing his info
I only have had it since today, but when i move my bottom sideways to the right, the left side starts pulling like a cramp or such and also hurts a little if i clench my teeth, i hope its not tmj or tmd and will be better shortly
That’s my exact feeling right now, how long did it take to get over? I bought a mouth guard to help me not grind my teeth at night, I feel almost deaf in my right ear when I pop my ears only the left one gets air but I feel like the right ear doesn’t get anything
Can anyone relate to my story??: I just started experiencing symptoms a couple of days ago and I thought it was a cavity and immediately got an appointment with my dentist. I flossed like crazy that day and oh boy did o regret it!!!

🥺,me too
Does anyone else have trouble with there ears because of this condition? Like fullness or clicking/popping?
Yes. I sustained a hard injury to the side of my head over 2 decades ago that has given me serious ear problems since. I have gotten chiropractic adjustment a couple times over the years, but it wasn't until this year that I started a more involved therapy. I've been wearing a dental orthotic for 6 months, and finally it's starting to work in alleviating the horrible symptoms. I also use a TENS device for electrical stimulation on my neck to relax the muscles every few days. Last but not least, I purchased a red light therapy device and started using it just a few days ago, so it's too early to tell. It's not cheap but it's far cheaper than LLLT (low-level laser therapy) in the office, and nearly as effective from what I understand (though I may end up trying that as well, just to experiment). Here's what I suggest as next steps:
1. find a TMJ specialist and request an orthotic. It has to be a TMJ specialist, because the appliances vary and unless it's the correct one (mine is for bottom teeth only, for example), it will not help. Also you may need to get it adjusted after the first few weeks. Mine had to be "corrected" with extra gel and rebalancing after a few weeks, because the symptoms had gotten worse again, but after the adjustment they started improving again. So keep that in mind, it has to be an orthotic, prepared by a TMJ specialist ONLY, and NOT a regular dentist
2. if you decide to look into red light therapy, which I can't yet vouch for but it looks promising and I'm currently experimenting with it, you just need an FDA-approved device which can emit near-infrared (NIR) light, which is 800nm wavelength and above. Visible red light is only skin deep. That helps too, but you need more. You only need to use the device for 5-10 minutes a session, once or twice a day, but not more. The specific device I got is called Mito Pro 300, it set me back about $330, but it's FDA-approved and it has both red and infrared frequencies. There's a guy online called Alex Fergus who does in-depth reviews of all these red light devices, plus research on red light therapy in general. He's affiliated with several of the companies, and his promo code ALEX got me 5% off, which was basically just the cost of the tax. You don't have to get this specific device, but make sure it's medically-approved, has the right frequencies, and is low on something called nnEMF (and isn't too expensive).
And definitely limit all sources of irritation like alcohol, caffeine, etc.

Advil or any anti inflammatory
@@canadiangoose1451 Also peppermint helps. I make a hot peppermint tea and use a warm compress using the tea and apply it to my jaw.
Does anyone experience neck pain and vertigo?
How do you resist yawning?
Exactly!
Or do most of the other things she said not to do.
Practically impossible.
I’m sure she just means resisting yawing with the mouth wide open, and suppress it to a slight yawn
What happens if it is not treated?
Nothing it’s just annoying
cartilage/ joint deterioration, bone damage, teeth damage, etc.

@@ryanjarvis9541 Got worse for me, on bad days I cant even eat yogurt. My joints and muscles are all messed up.
@@janelduggan2464 Its probably from a dislocated jaw injury you sustained in your youth and never got corrected. With me it is on one side.
You need to stretch the neck muscles. Lie on your back across the bed with your head and arms flopped over. Relax and breathe. Do it every morning. Let it all go like you're a corpse. Worked for me.
None of this hardly works!....
It happened to me when I was yawning 🥱 now i can't open my mouth because of pain 🥲 .
There is no cure this is there.
The best way to ease the pain is by eating Corn nuts.
