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! Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!
You are really doing a very noble work, people benefited worldwide those not lived in US especially...Thanks again, keep it up !! My Best Wishes
Thank you for your kind words! :)
Great I have all of the above…I’m 36 years old been dealing with this for many years. One day I’m gonna make a trip to you! ☺️
Yes, come see me!
If someone has a very loud grinding sound when opening and closing their jaw to the fullest extent, I'm assuming this is crepitus, and is caused by the disc and ligaments no longer being in the picture... would you recommend seeing a TMJ specialist for this even with no pain?
Yes I would!
My jaw clicked on the right when I was eating something hard-ish. For the next 2-3 days it hurt a lot and all day. I'd notice I would subconsciously hold my lower jaw forward and open during that time. When I'd notice it, I'd put it back into normal.
For the next 30 days my jaw hurt less and less every day. But the clicking became more and more consistent. At this point the pain was about 95% reduced.
And now, another 30 days later, my pain is 97% reduced, but the clicking on my right side is like clockwork. If I open my jaw halfway, then move it to the right, and then move it up = click.
If I move my jaw forward and to the right, and then move it back in maintaining the right position = click
If I open and close my jaw normally, but I stick my index finger in my ear all the way, I can feel/hear a small click.
My jaw ONLY clicks on the right, not on the left. I have little bursts of pain on the right that come and usually go quickly. And my clicking happens only on "open mouth halfway, move jaw to the right, move it up maintaining the right position = click", and "move lower jaw forward and right, and then retract it back in while maintaining the jaw on the right = click".
Any ideas? I'm terrified this is just the beginning, and if I don't do something about it now, my future is dark :(
Hi there! I cannot easily answer your question without follow up questions and discussion. If youd like you can email my office to set up a Zoom meeting with me: patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com
Hi, do you also know that the cheek press against the teeth? My teeth then feel really wrong (pressure feeling) but as soon as I lift the cheek the pressure feeling is gone.
The teeth themselves are ok.
Thanks for your great videos
😃
I'm sorry but I don't know what's causing that.

I'm sorry to hear that but I can't really help over the internet and without examining you in person.
Tmj pressure inside right ear something inthe ear how to treat is it erosion or disc displacement using orthotic any meds or exercises for relieving ear pressure please advise
I'm sorry but I cannot give your information about your specific condition and/or treatment over the internet and without examining you in person.
Doctor hope you could help. I have neck issues and I believe it's affecting around my eye like tightness and imbalance. I have a MRI I have 4 herniated c3- c7. I have poping sounds in back on my head , my jaw and sometimes in my face.
Sorry to hear this. I don't really know how I can help over the internet and without examining you in person.
Have you tried the McKenzie Method? I have neck issues and prolapsed discs (supposedly not as bad as herniated ones) and the stretches have helped a lot
My jaw will slightly pop or sound like I’ve shifted something in my cheek area when I move my jaw to the left. The right side of my neck, jaw, around and behind my ear are where most of my pain or pressure occurs.
I first started experiencing symptoms a year ago, I had a constant feeling like I was slightly being choked or having to burp. On the right side of my Adam’s apple (about the area where u would take someone’s pulse) I could feel swelling and that’s where it was the most painful. During this time I was getting a lot of headaches as well and ocular pain.
After about 6 months the pain has moved more into my cheek/jaw area where my lower back molars are. If I press on my cheek and move my jaw I can get a more pronounced grinding sound to happen. I don’t have as many headaches but still more than usual, and when I clean my right ear with a qtip I get a sharp pain in the ear canal.
I’ve been shifting my jaw to the left constantly throughout the day for months because it feels like I can relieve some pressure by doing it. But sometimes when I shift my jaw (usually happens once or twice a week) I can hear a loud crack in my jaw area, my jaw will no longer make the grinding popping sound when I move my jaw, but now instead it sounds like someone is shredding paper in my ear. That will usually provide some relief for a few hours (despite the sound of shredding paper it’s better than pain) and then it’s back to clicking and pressure building up. It’s never happening both at the same time . Either clicking , or a loud pop followed by no clicking and paper shredding noises.
I’m sorry for the long post I’m hoping someone reads this and I tried to be as detailed as possible so that others might see it who’ve had similar issues or dr priya. Thank you so much for your time in reading
Edit: I’m also posting here because financially It’s hard for me to see all these drs/dentists without coming away with any results. I’d appreciate some guidance or suggestions on what steps I should take to diagnose myself or find the root of my problem once again thank u so much if you’re reading this
Im sorry but there’s no way I can answer this without follow up questions and discussion. If you’d like you can set up an online consultation with me using this link 😊🙏🏼

@@theTMJdoc wow thanks so much I will try to reach out to u this week
@@theTMJdoc on second thought, 300$ for 15 minutes of your time over a zoom call doesn’t sound like the best way to spend my money so I’ll exhaust all other options before doing that sorry
@@MmmScotty the consultation is 1/2 an hour. Not 15 minutes - not sure where you got that information? Additionally, any money spent for the the consultation goes toward treatment if you take treatment within 30 days of the consultation. Either way best of luck to you 😊🙏🏼
Can TMJ Cause Migraines? If so, Are Those Tmj's Related Migrane accompanied By Aura ? Aura is a kind of Vision Problem Before The Migrane Or Headache Starts.Thank U
Yes TMJ issues and migraines with aura are linked.

My TMJ MRI when I had one came back normal but it always feels like something keeps popping out of place on my right side than I start to hear crepitus noises. What's usually the treatment for when the MRI comes back normal which I assume means it's muscular TMJ?
It could be. I really couldn't say for sure over the internet and without examining you.
I have the grinding sound but when im swallowing what is that mean?
I cannot tell you what this means over the internet and without examining you. Sorry!
Hi Priya... Thank you for your informative channel... I wish I could fly from South Africa to make an appointment with you...
I do have a question... My jaw is clocked closed (right side) due to me clenching for a few days when I had severe pain due to an ear infection... I am currently getting physiotherapy and its helping tremendously with the pain and bad inflammation. I'm also able to open much wider... My question is, I can feel my condyle move on my left side, but cannot feel it on my right... Is this due to the inflammation?
Both my ears are also clogged and weird fluttering noises in my ear. (I do have tinnitus in my right ear, same side where the jaw is closed locked and the ear infection side. Doctor said I have middle ear fluid in that ear).
I'm not a clencher or grinder, this just happened for a few days due to the severe ear pain.
I'm sorry but I can't really tell you over the internet and without examining you in person why you can't feel your condyle on one side.
@@theTMJdoc thank you
Hi mam, I have the crepitus right now .I am from India, is there any way to contact you just for your suggestion?Please help.
You can email my office to set up a zoom meeting with me if you’d like. Patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com
@@theTMJdoc Thankyou for the reply mam.
im so worried, will my tmd ever go away? my doctor says it inflamation and he prescribed anti inflamation medicine for it, but wil i ever be able to heal? can i ever go back to playing sports?I dont think i get pop but i do think i get crepitus as u said.
I really can't tell you much over the internet and without examining you in person. Sorry!
Can the sequelae of crepitus be prevented with Essix retainers?
No, I don't think Essix retainers decompress the joints enough.
@@theTMJdoc What are your go tos? Michigan/Tanner or advancement splints?
Doctor, is the involuntary movement in the jaw normal? I started using the hard NightGard a month ago
No I wouldn't say that's normal. A nightguard is very different from a TMJ orthotic and it is not appropriate for treatment of TMJD.
@@theTMJdoc Sorry, it's not a nightguard, it was done by a TMJ specialist, but this strange movement happens rarely after I was prescribed a muscle relaxant by a general practitioner, of course it was discontinued
Hi,
Can tmj cause trigeminal neuralgia?
Not to my knowledge.
Have you ever had a patient w/ L&R IV-a piper classification not need surgery?
What is an L&R IV?
@@theTMJdoc sorry, left & right piper classification 4a. It’s on my mri report
@@heathervine8397 I’m not familiar with that classification
@@theTMJdoc says it means “reducing medial pole displacement”
@@heathervine8397 so to be clear - does this mean that the articular disc is displaced medially without reduction?
Does custom night guards actually work for realigning the jaw or, is it just protecting the teeth?

How can I cure my TMJ please help me you are my last hope please help me yll I'm just 23 year old and I have lot of responsibility so I need to cure it please 🙏
I’m sorry but I cannot give you a solution over the internet and without examining you in person
@@theTMJdoc i feels discomfort to close my whole teeth I need an splint, so how should I know what kind of splint is good for me
Thank you for the video! My MRI shows my disk is out of an aligment (it comes forward and then back again when I open my mouth). Some time ago I heard small noises (not bright, not a "popcorn" sounds), but recently they've disappeared. Does it mean my TMJD is getting worse or better? I haven't done anything specific and consistent yet to work on my TMJD, just started to release muscles in my face and neck
I cannot tell you if things are getting worse or better over the internet and without examining you in person.
@@theTMJdoc I've just seen your whole video, maybe my type is a "cessation". But my mouth still opens pretty wide, it's not locked. I will discuss it with a doctor🙂👍
@@user-nk3ni5yw2u 👍🏼👍🏼
Is crepitus bad??
Please watch this video:
ua-cam.com/video/7WnZW6cilQY/v-deo.html
how are you now?
I have popping and clicking. CBCT and MRI were both unremarkable. I do have crepitus in the left joint space. This is constant. I don't think I have joint pain. I do, unfortunately, have muscle pain. Mainly in the masseter and lateral pterygoid muscles. I do grind at night. I was also diagnosed last month with OSA. Still waiting on the machine. I've noticed that the pops, clicks, and crepitus become more frequent when I have a muscle flare-up. Any idea as to what might be causing this?
When the muscles flare up, they also tighten, particularly a small muscle that attaches to the articular disc. When that muscle tightens up, it will pull the disc out of alignment which will in turn cause increased clicking, popping, and even jaw locking.
@@theTMJdoc Ah. So, you could have an otherwise healthy joint and disc but if the muscles of mastication are in a spastic state, they can pull on the disc and bring it out of alignment?
I had no idea that was even possible. That explains a lot. 😯
Is it normal to have crepitus from TMJ in the neck when turning the neck to the right? The sound I hear seems to be coming from the sub occipital area or somewhere in that area, it’s kind of hard to tell.
No I would not say that's "normal" with TMJD.
same happens how are you now
