- This video is all about tongue posture! I've received many messages from patients who are trying to attain proper tongue posture on their own and in this video, I explain why it's not a good idea to do this without the help of a practitioner who is trained and experienced in providing myofunctional therapy! Myofunctional Therapy is a type of physical therapy for the muscles that surround and support the tongue.

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! - Наука та технологія
Why is mainstream dentistry not looking at issues like tomgue posture in adults .Instead, they say all growth is over , only benefit adults can have is cosmetic
Yes, I wish mainstream dentistry did look at all these things.
They are interested in what makes $.
@@ayo9057 well dentistry is a job, so that's a strange thing to complain about. More importantly though, there's no credible evidence of any medical benefits of orthotropics, so no ethically sound, non-quack dentist will recommend it.
@@joshbarghest7058 rubbish answer, adding to the bad rep dentists have
@@ayo9057yes, but its what they weongly THINK makes money. innovation makes more. help everyone and you "lose" customers briefly. -are jobs for a purpose, or is that just pretend? capitalism doesnt work bc we act like we can trick ourselves into doing the right thing by focusing on money
in reality, focusing on money isnt even the best way to make more money. greed makes you poor and miserable, like most dentists
Wow. I had NO idea the tongue was meant to be up so high. I have TMJ, sleep apnea, crowded teeth. Who knew. 🤯
😊
me too. i’m SEVENTEEN. i also have back problems 🤩 i live in an 80 year old body 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You are so informative and such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I developed low tongue posture after a palatial expander and ended up with horrible TMJ pain and an open bite due to a lateral tongue thrust- im really hoping this will help out, and im going to be seeing a speech pathologist soon :)
Does your speech pathologist offer myofunctional therapy :) ?
@@theTMJdoc I have yet to find out, we’re trying to reach out first through a family friend who is a speech pathologist and are seeing if she has knowledge in myofunctional therapy!
I've been having TMJ symptoms for a while now (right eye with occasional muscle twitches, tinnitus and jaw cracking sounds when chewing/opening mouth) and have been training for the last 2 days to keep my tongue in the right position as described in your video (used to have a low tongue posture). It has been surprisingly easy for me to do it for the entire day. Have you had patients with similar problems and if so, would you know how long it can take before I see improvements specially when it comes to the muscle twitches? Also, as per your suggestion I'm looking for a myofunctional therapist where I live. Thank you for the great content!
Thank you for your kind words. I actually don't use correcting the tongue posture/myofunctional therapy as a treatment modality - I've seen it make TMJD worse. I recommend treating the TMJD FIRST and then proceeding with Myofunctional Therapy when you're symptom free.
A beautiful area of language to cover, huge thank you, fabulous tip, posture of tongue
Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video Priya! Which procedure do you think helps a person more with removal of tongue tie - frenectomy or frenuloplasty?
It depends on the case! That’s not easy to answer because it can vary from person to person.
You're seriously the very best

@@theTMJdoc you're very welcome
Hey great video and info! I’ve been dealing with a painful scalloped tongue for 2 years now and have had no luck in relieving it after seeing multiple professionals. I’ve tried the night guard and didn’t notice a difference either. I do notice I don’t have proper tongue posture but one of those doctors are hours away from where I live. Do you think this could help my problem? And have you had patience with painful scalloped tongue ? Thanks 🙏
I’d recommend seeing a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy via Zoom (Megan VanNoy is great!). I would not recommend trying to correct your tongue posture on your own - you could cause more pain. No I have not had a patient with a painful scalloped tongue.
So my normal posture has been my tongue against my teeth for my whole life and my teeth are crooked because of that, so I need braces or is there anything I can do?
I would recommend pursuing myofunctional therapy for this. Then braces.

Hey, quick question, I've subbed too ! For my tongue, Its perfectly behind the top incisors(not pressing). Occasionally when I breath through my nose, sometimes I feel air reaching the top of my tongue too(my tip 2/3 of the tongues stays on top, bottom is kept unconscious haha). Is it normal or you should feel literally no air in your mouth/tongue ? while breathing through nose. Thanks and bless you with lots of love
This is a good question.. I think I feel some air when I breathe too. You may want to check with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy.
thanks priya very helpful as usual! was wondering say a patient has a bad bite and gets braces, then later on gets composite bonding / veneers. What happens if the teeth start shifting later on, can the braces be put onto of the veneers? have been debating between composite bonding and veeners but am 26 now so not too sure when they would need replacing. thanks
Yes, braces can be put on veneers but they could be damage in the process of removing the brackets.
@@theTMJdoc ah ok i understand, appreciate the reply.

Recently got TMJ symptoms and getting treated with my orthodontist with occlusal splint for upper teeth, they said it may take 3 to 4 months to completely get rid of it, and they also suggested me to not take much stress and eat soft foods. I don't have proper tongue posture, so now I'm trying to fit tongue in roof of my mouth(mewing), but I can't do because back of my tongue won't fit in the roof. I'm pretty confused now, don't know what to do.....
Sorry to hear this and best of luck to you!
I feel a bit lost with the tongue posture thing. Few years ago, my tongue was always on the lower palate. Now, with (a lot) of practice, my tongue is always resting automatically in the upper palate (so it's supposed to be good). Yet, I am not sure it is such a good thing because I have strange sides effects that my be linked to this. Maybe because my tongue is pushing pretty hard all the time on the upper palate, wich is not so good...
I’d recommend meeting with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy. Best of luck to you!
Hi Priya. I just found your channel. I've been suffering from TMD for at least a decade. I've had low tongue posture, with reverse swallowing, ever since I was a child and my nose was stuffed for a whole Summer. I had braces in High School and my orthodontist advised me to hold a button on the roof of my mouth with my tongue for 30 minutes a day. I also remember being told that I'd likely need surgery and that its not covered under insurance. This is what really confuses me. I experience so much pain in my jaw, neck, back, and shoulders, yet its still not covered under insurance. I just don't understand. Could you do a video talking about why TMJ and TMD treatments aren't covered by insurance?
Sorry to hear you’ve been going through this! Some insurances do have TMJ/TMD coverage.
healing and love to you it can get better 🙏🏽🤍🤍
physical therapists are difficult/expensive to find in st. louis. one wanted to only work over zoom call which seemed sketchy and then wouldn't meet because i said i had worked with my daughter on her tongue thrust from youtube video advice. is there a shortage of availability due to all the kids messed up from wearing masks? is $150 evaluation + $100 per session with them wanting 1 or 2 per week planning to go 4+ months normal?
I don’t know what their fees are.
@theTMJdoc does tongue posture relate to sleep bruxism problems? Have you seen patients with this issue. If so, improving the tongue posture, can bruxism be minimised and helped ( not completely cured, may be with the on going night guard as well)
tongue posture and bruxism are related but correcting tongue posture won't necessarily stop bruxism. :/
@@theTMJdoc thanks for the reply 👍🏽
@@therandiked you're welcome!
Hi! I'm very happy I found your channel, I've been suffering from this from several years ago but now I'm in a lot of pain, I've gone through retainers, mouthguard, whenever there's a new filling or procedure done to any teeth it affects me horribly, I can't sleep or live as I should. I tried to find a myofunctional therapist near me but seems there's no any, is there any other name to this kind of specialists that I can find? Thanks!
I've been trying to be more conscious of my tongue posture, but I feel like I'm out of breath whenever I try, so I'm scared
Where do you live? Typically if you Google “myofunctional therapy” you can find someone. Some practitioners also provide myofunctional therapy online.
@@theTMJdoc I think it might be the best option I live in southwest Virginia near Roanoke, nearest practitioners seems to be 4 hrs away
Best of luck to you!
Hello priya, i think i do rest my tongue in the roof but i apply more pressure on my left side of the roof and left side is little loose also my left side of the face is lower than right side , please tell me if this tongue might be the reason
I’m sorry but I can’t tell you much over the internet and without examining you.
I wish I had seen this video earlier because years ago I tried fixing my tongue posture, and now I realise that my supertight tongue muscles were the reason for my extremely tight fact/neck and even upper traps lol
Well I hope the info can still help!!
exact same problem going on with me. have you figured out anything thats helped you? its been eating away at me for a bit
@@armrahi Yes, I think my tight/strained digastric muscles were the reason for it so I looked up release techniques on YT. I also discovered I've been breathing wrong by using my chest instead of my abdomen (diaphragmatic breathing) which was a big contributor to my tight neck/upper back muscles and stress in general. Diaphragmatic breathing is also way better for oxygen so properly breathing like this while stretching helped a lot.
@@kwertie thanks for the info, a lot of this applies to me, so ill start working on that. appreciate it :)
glad to hear, good luck! :) @@armrahi
Can tmj make you ugly? I'm trying mewing since an year....i see less signs of tmj so I'm confused.... please answer me mam....can having tmjd make you ugly or loosen your original face? If yes can it get back to normal?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I cannot speak to your question about if TMJ makes you ugly. Mewing can help strengthen your muscles and build a face with a stronger jawline.
Hi I have a question hope you can answer, my palate has a width of 25mm is this considered narrow? Is it the reason why I have a hard time with proper tongue posture? Thanks for the answer!
That would be a better question for an orthodontist. :). I believe that if measuring from first molar to first molar, the palate should be 30mm or above. And yes, a narrow palate can make proper tongue posture impossible to attain.
@@theTMJdoc thanks you for the answer, I heard somewhere that the palate need to be atleast 35mm for the tongue to be able to rest comfortably so I’m thinking about getting an expander soon:)
@@carlgadoury4453 best of luck to you!
Do you know where our tongue is supposed to be when we're talking I feel like I talk with my tongue to much and have a slight lisp ?
it's best to consult with a speech language pathologist for that question :)
But you know so much ?@@theTMJdoc
@@gomez0074 how can you expect me to diagnose you over the internet? Be reasonable.
Is most TMJ curable? Recently started experiencing upper left jaw pain, due to clenching and improper tongue posture. Didn’t even realize this was a thing until now lol. Cheers
Yes it is treatable
@@theTMJdoc Perfect, thanks!
I am 30 years old male and my tongue rested on my lower jaw all my life...
I have severe underbite and asymmetrical jaws... Nobody ever told me about the right posture of the tongue. I tried many times to press my tongue against the palate but it's very hard to me to keep it long time. And i felt many times pressure on my lower teeth because of my tounge, please doctor give me an advise how to correct my tongue posture by myself, thank you
I cannot advise you on that. I'd recommend meeting with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy.
Hi Dr. Priya! Great video, but I have some questions if you don't mind! How would one be able to know if one's tongue is fully touching the roof of one's mouth? Also, how does one with a longer tongue not touch their teeth while letting it rest on the roof of their mouth?
The only way I could know if the tongue is fully in the correct position is with a CT scan which shows the tongue. As for your second question, that may be be better answered by a myofunctional therapy provider.
@@theTMJdoc isn't there a good chance tongue posture would not be normal during ct scan, as standing or sitting posture would not be normal if you know you're being looked at for those things and you just paid for worthless CT scan?
@@manhogbear1086 no there is not.
bro just feel it xD
Is my tongue supposed to touch my upper teeth? Some say that it shouldn’t but if it doesn’t my tongue is just too far back and it makes it hard to swallow and it starts hurting after a while of keeping it there
No it should not.
Check your body posture. Since exercising adjusting my posture, I have noticed my teeth gaps closing and my tongue resting farther back naturally. Look up “stacking” ribs over pelvis. My jaw strength improved significantly since I had been noticing weakness for awhile. My tmj issues are improving so much. This is how I ended up here.
I have too high and narrow palate for my tongue to rest at the palate, there's always a gap there where my tongue cannot reach, so it can't create suction. Also my mouth is so narrow and small that for my tongue to "rest" it extends way beyond my front teeth and the tip coming out between the lips, slightly. That's the least painful position and when I can breathe the best. If I keep the tongue in, and behind the teeth, it's in a too tight of a space and also obstructs my breathing because the mass of tongue pressing against the back of my throat. So simply, there's not enough space in my mouth for a normal sized tongue and there's no way I can make it to take it's natural and normal position. I have severe TMJ issues and I went through many years of failed orthodontics as a child and teen. It did not help. So I guess I can't but suffer.
I’m sorry to hear this! Have you consulted with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy?
I am an RDH that sees the benefits of myofunctional therapy and would like to offer that value to my patients. Where can I receive more training or continuing education to do so?
Hi there! You can look at Sarah Hornsby’s programs for more training.. 😊
Mam please help me I tried mewing on my own but I never touched my root of toungue to my upper pallet ……I’m currently suffering neck,maxillary and toungue heaviness and discomfort I went to doc too but they said it’s nothing to worry and it will go away in month or 2 but life is being very difficult for me because of this please help 😢And I’m not suffering from tmj
I'm sorry but I don't really know how I can help over the internet and without examining you in person. If you'd like you can try the self massage techniques in this UA-cam playlist:

Very informative
Thank you!
good information👍but my queries is when the books reading time is the position of the tongue always roof in mouth? also same question position of the lip always open/close ??
Lips together, teeth apart, tongue against the roof of the mouth.
Hi Priya, your video tongue tie is not available anymore under the link in the description:(
My dentist says they don't do TMJ, they only do a splint or a thing to put in your mouth while you sleep. What doctor should I be seeing for this?
Are you looking for someone to help you with tongue posture or with TMD?
@@theTMJdoc Sorry I saw you replied to my other comment about it already! ty
Hello! I have a question my lower front teeth touches my tongue, is that good?
No I wouldn’t say that’s good but I also wouldn’t recommend trying to correct your tongue posture on your own and without someone who provides myofunctional therapy.
I’ve recently developed Tongue thrusting due to bad bad posture. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that and I hope you found this info helpful :)
Plzzz answer my question, my maxilla is poped out i mean it's forwarded which make me have an overbite and a receeded chin, so since awhile I tried mewing and my face got worse, so what should I do for my case??
I cannot advise you over the internet and without examining you in person. Sorry!
Maybe look into your body posture. Bad posture, I think should be resolved first. Fixing mines reduced my tongue thrusting, neck pain, tmj and teeth gaps without any mewing or whatever.
@@Roguey84 thanks a lot for answering ❤️
@@Roguey84 and btw how did you fix your body posture?!
hello , couple of days earlier , i was playing with my tongue and pushing my tongue to downward part of mouth teeth gum and it was fun and i did it for 3 day continuously and after 3 day my tongue feel uncomfortable like its not resting or floating or like its (u) shape midde portion going downward ,what should i do now to get back to normal ?
I would recommend seeing a professional who is trained in providing myofunctional therapy.
@@theTMJdoc myofunctional therapist is not available in my place instead can i visit ENT doctor
@@sterferking1109 sure that’s a good place to start. Good luck!
@@theTMJdoc thanks , and one last question
I am still confuse where should i place my tongue tip at the top
Like
My tip should be touching the gum of top teeth or
At the little back where there is like hump slope steep
@@sterferking1109 the soft tissue hump right behind the front two teeth.
How long should we practice this tounge posture?
I think that in this video I ask you not to try this on your own. Have you seen a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy??
@@theTMJdoc No i haven't consulted any myofuctional therapist , i actually started mewing because I had noticed that my teeth were not aligned due to my over bite over my lower teeth and my tongue resting behind my teeth, due to which my teeth became a little forward slant , so i searched for proper teeth and tongue resting position on the internet and came accross mewing but i thought it was some of false information, but every where on the internet every body told that it true and infact work for a better jaw line , so i started mewing for a better positioning of tounge, but it is hard to practics it all the time as it cause some weird tension behind the tounge and slight throat pain ,so i came accross your video hoping that there would be any information regarding how much should I mew per day .Thank you so much i didn't expect you to be so fast to respond , that was so sweet of you 😍
By any chance do u know if this could possibly affect singing or just overall resonance of voice and speech because i'm a singer and I want to look attractive and maintain good health while not having my singing voice lost.
My understanding is that for the best singing, the tongue must have a full and healthy range of motion. This is impossible if you have a tongue tie which restricts movement.
@@theTMJdoc tysm, if i need more info i'll also be sure to talk to other specialist in the "face" field lol
I used to rest my tongue on the lower side of teeth ,now when I got information about this through your video, I'm trying myself to correct my posture. But I feel little sensitivity in my teeth , is it okay ? Please reply. I actually cannot visit any doctors too 😅
I do not recommend trying to correct your tongue posture on your own.
i wish i learned more about this before i had braces. i think i saw something like this beforehand and wanted to have faith in it but didn’t know if it was true or where to get help so i went ahead with braces bc i wanted perfect teeth. well my teeth looked straight already if you werent trying to look like i was. If i knew about this reality I wouldn’t have extracted all my wisdom teeth and wouldve waited to get braces. Now my tongue really doesn’t fit in my mouth bc of the loss of space which makes this harder.
sorry to hear that!
Will mewing will bring my maxila forward I have a slight overbite so should I do it or not ? Pls replyy 😣🙏
I’m not sure if Mewing will do that. I really cannot make recommendations for you without examining you in person.
@@theTMJdoc Thanks for replying but isn't the main function of mewing is on maxila as the tongue in it rest on pallet and also I can't properly swallow after I started it
I bite my cheeks while swallowing
@@uniquequeenhobbies1933 if you can’t do it properly you should consult with a practitioner who does myofunctional therapy. You may have a tongue tie.
Why does adopting this proper tongue posture cause a feeling of tightness and pressure across the scalp musculature?
It may be because you have a tongue tie. You should not attempt correcting your tongue posture on your own. I'd recommend working with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy.
so this correct posture (with lips together, teeth apart, tongue against palate), it should be like that also when we sleep ? with teeth apart?
Yes ideally but many of us clench or grind our teeth when sleeping.
Wow, thanks for responding, i am learning a lot with your videos
you're welcome! Don't forget to Subscribe!
What kind of person would I have to see to correct tongue posture if I’m struggling
A practitioner who provides Myofunctional Therapy.
I tried mewing but it always feels like I am biting my cheeks....
Sorry to hear that! I’m definitely not an expert on Mewing so if you have questions you may want to ask Dr John or Mike Mew.
If I keep my tongue up my tongue touches the back of my right side teeth should I be concerned?
I can’t really answer this without observing what you’re talking about.
lmfao she baited you into this for her ego, but im sorry that you were actually looking for health. the medical religion does not allow that. doesnt even allow an attempt from afar lol how they cant just bring themselves to try AND ADD A SIMPLE CAVEAT is beyond me. Actually, its not beyond me lol i know whats wrong with them: american medicine is a religion based on money and obedience. the egos of doctors serve the financial interests of the VERY FEW corporations that run all the medical establishments available to us
How am i supposed to hold my tongue than in a rest position? Because i atomatically put it against my palate. ( i'm 14)
That sounds like it's the correct position!
Tongue pressed up against the roof of the mouth when not talking?? Wtf ya that’s never happened lol
Yes that’s the correct position! 😊🙏🏼
I have low tongue posture because I have a permanent retainer bonded onto the back of my lower front teeth. My tongue tip tends to gravitate there because it's like a little ridge. Should I have it removed? Back when I had braces I had a palate expander across the roof of my mouth which made my tongue gravitate there and I think thats where my tongue position would normally be if it wasn't for this permanent retainer.
I wouldn’t recommend removing the permanent retainer because I’ve seen the teeth shift very quickly after this is done.
Same for me. I had the retainer removed 1 month ago and I regret it deeply. My teeth are shifting and there is still a lot of pressure on it. I’m doing training with the face former now for proper tongue posture and swallow technique. I have problems with my cervical spine and I guess my problems with tmj are due to this
i only learned this today after 30 years when my dentist told me when I am in the process of fixing my underbite so I am searching this now in internet. Thats why i had underbite because my tongue was always resting at the bottom and pushing towards my lower teeth. Wish this was taught in school or maybe I was just not listening in school before if this was taught haha. 😂
It's good you know it now! :)
Thank you very much for this✨
You’re welcome!
I just learned, correct me if im wrong but i had my tongue touching the back of my teeth and for a few years but im not exactly sure how far back im supposed to have it, and i always have my jaw popping back in and forth
I’d recommend consulting with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy.
lol she really makes you think she wants a reply, huh? 😂 i know it may sound crazy, but were it not for her ego and narcissism, she would not be a doctor. thats how they work. this whole charade is just one way of getting worshipped and feeling useful without actually being useful. even outside of the medical industry, you know most jobs are fake, right? no one will admit that their job is more than likely doable in half the time for half the cost
this is capitalism for ya. never get treated like a human being
Trying to fix my tongue posture and it’s so hard to change my posture without overthinking 😭
yes it certainly can be hard to change posture!
question if u dont mind. after tongue tie surgery, can one develop strain under the chin. like the supra hyoid muscles. ever since i had it done i started having problems n tension there that i did not have before. i also started having issues while speaking which weren't there before. it started right after having the surgery done which makes me regret it and im wondering if there is anything i can do to fix this. thank you !!!
Have you been doing Myofunctional Therapy since the tongue tie release?
@@theTMJdoc i wasnt really given too many exercises from the dentist who performed it. so i wasnt sure exactly which ones to do. im finding some online and perhaps i can just try those. thx so much for ur responses, really appreciate it.
Im 15 and this has made me hate everything about my life every single fucking day
You have TMJ problems? Or a tongue tie?
@@theTMJdoc i have both do you have and suggestions?
@@shesadieejean oh no! Have you seen a skilled and experienced TMJ dentist?
@@theTMJdoc yes and i am waiting for the first appointment for doing physio therapy or something
Best of luck to you!
So pretty much how ur toungue ends up after swallowing is the right posture? u make me worried when u say dont try to get right tongue posture on your own, but how you describe how my tongue should be is how my tongue has been my entire life i believe, so then im good right?
if you're swallowing correctly, yes.
What happens if those problems that come from trying proper tongue posture happen to you? Is it completely reversible? Do you also know anything about hard mewing? Ppl have developed so many problems from hard mewing because Mike mew was irresponsible and tried spreading mewing as something anyone can do on their own 😑
I wouldn't recommend trying to attain proper tongue posture on your own. I'd recommend consulting with a practitioner who provides Myofunctional Therapy.
The thing is, I have already tried and it has resulted in negative outcome. I believe hard mewing caused misalignment of my cranial bones: definite changes in the maxilla, palate, etc. Do you know if myofunctional therapy and the correct orthodontics or cranial osteopathy can help realign my cranial bones?
@@MI-qj6xr I’m not sure? I hope it can help! It’s hard for me to say without examining you.
@@theTMJdoc thank you. That’s understandable. Would you know if there’s any type of headgear or device (although quite counterintuitive for conventional orthodontics that pushes for forward and upward growth) that can move the maxilla in a posteroinferior direction? Or if such a device, if not already in existence, could be made specifically for people of my case?
im actually 13 and when i do the tip you gave is it normal to gleek (a little)
it can be, yes.
thank you very much, i just woke up and i feel my tmj and my entire jaw being sore including my neck. Is it normal or i should really do to the doctor.
@@dresdemise I can’t tell you over the internet and without examining you if it’s “normal” or not. I’d definitely recommend going to the doctor.
Doctor plz help me i am suffering from tmj disorder for two years starting cracking and now jaw locking plz help me😪😪😪😪😪
Sorry you’re going through this. There’s not much I can do over the internet to help you. You can try the muscle releases in my UA-cam playlist called “tmj exercises/muscle releases”. Many people have contacted me saying that these have helped with pain.
Go in and see a specialist, get an MRI of your jaw so you can see the route problem if it was caused due to trauma ( Ripped Out Of Socket ) Or caused from muscle inflammation or stress from there they would find the deeper route and give you advice on what is available to do next for treatment . Hope you get better man

ugg feel my tongue is too big for the back part to touch the roof
it may be helpful to consult with a practitioner who provides myofunctional therapy.
Can mewing fix a gap teeth or it make a gap more wider?😢😢
It depends on where the gap is. I’m doubtful that it can “fix” a gap.
@@theTMJdoc what’s about frontal gap
Is there any relief for grinding your teeth in your sleep?
I wish I had an easy solution for that! Grinding during sleep is usually related to sleep disordered breathing/sleep apnea. Have you had a sleep study?
Yes I sleep with a cpap and mouth guard every night.
I talked to your office. I'm going to make a appointment at the first of the year. I will bring all my records.
@@kimberlywusstig2783 ok great but I don’t have a solution for night time grinding. :/
A mouthguard or a splint can help, Just make sure it fits correctly if you get one made. Mine was way too tight and digging into my gums it even made a imprint in my skin . Yeah way way way too tight. So anyways I have to take it back in to get a new one made .
They say teeth clenching / Grinding can also be caused due to a high volume situation or stress etc
Where you keep your tongue
Roof of the mouth.
Is mewing same?
No it's not. Please watch this video and let me know if you have any questions.

Yeah I can’t get anything but the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth…
Yes! Get evaluated by someone who provides myofunctional therapy.
Is mewing exercises harmful?
I wouldn't recommend them if you have TMJD pain.
Can i rest my tongue on the roof with braces 🙂
Yes you should technically be able to do this but if it makes you sore, I wouldn’t recommend forcing it.
@@theTMJdoc Thank you so much ❤️
@@xannybarbar9839 you’re welcome 😊

Not everyone has the money to go to the doctor for mere tongue posture.
I never said everyone has the money to pursue this. This is an informational video. And “mere tongue posture” can affect your entire body.
@@theTMJdoc I made that comment because you said to not practice tongue posture on your own and that you need to go to a certain kind of doctor for it.
@@danielboone8256 well you could cause pain to yourself if you attempt this on your own. Would you rather I don’t warn against that?
@@theTMJdoc I'd rather you tell us how to do it while still warning that it could cause some pain if done improperly.
@@danielboone8256 you are asking for myofunctional therapy - a very complex and involved therapy that requires a lot of training - for free over the internet?
Hey you look kinda Ana de Armas
Thank you!
My orthodontist said I have TMJ
Sorry to hear this!
Felt it after 30s n it’s tiring
Felt what?
@@theTMJdoc felt tired
it forces you to breathe with your gut and diaphragm instead of your chest
yes!
So this entire video offered nothing but “check out it these other videos” and “pay a doctor”. How helpful. Some people definitely can’t afford going to a doctor about this 😂
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
Hindi me batao
I don’t speak Hindi. You can turn the subtitles on.
you act like that is accessible for everyone sis.
Geographically, myofunctional therapy is accessible because all you need is internet access. Financially I know it’s not accessible for everyone.
