- Many say that the TMJ is the most complex joint in the body and is the only joint designed to dislocate as part of its normal function.

At the end you should feel like you have a decent idea of how the joint works, and in part 2 coming soon, you will see how it can deteriorate when things go wrong.

This video is so helpful! Thanks a lot, BiteFX!
I started having TMJ problems two years ago, and your videos have helped me better visualize its entire anatomy. Being an engineer and of inquisitive nature, after many months of research on the Internet, I concluded that TMJ disorder is just the tip of the iceberg. Its maldevelopment is ultimately due to poor craniofacial development. In other words, TMJ problems are simply the result of a poorly developed face. Your videos have helped me put crucial pieces of the TMJ puzzle in place. Can't wait to see what you put out in Part 2.
Again, I am so glad I subscribed to this channel a year ago to see this new content you're putting up. The visuals are simply stunning. Keep up the great work!
Is there any solution for tmj?
Hi Andrej - Thanks for the encouraging comment! Our plan is to put out videos regularly for the next few months at least. We have a rich library of animations and webinars presented by top dentists to draw on that is worth sharing.
The issues are complex and often interrelated. Sometimes the TMJ disorder is the tip of the iceberg with other issues being the root cause; sometimes the TMJ disorder is the root cause.
As an engineer you may come to understand the issues better than the average dentist!
Hi Preet. What people describe as "TMJ", or more accurately "TMD", covers a wide array of ailments: deformity,
a variety of diseases, misalignment of joint, teeth, or other associated structure. There are solutions to many of the problems - some simple, some very involved. Don't believe anyone who says they have a simple solution to all TMJ issues! The best solution requires a good diagnosis by someone who understands the TMJ well.
Did you manage to solve your problem?
@@NinoMaluri I'm currently wearing braces to fix my bite. I make contact on maybe 2-3 teeth randomly, otherwise none of my teeth touch. I still feel pain in my temporalis and lateral pterygoid muscles every day, but they ache on different days and the pain tends to subside as the day goes by, it's the strongest in the morning, so my orthodontist has concluded that my issue is now muscular, whereas before it was both joint-related and muscular. It's also very probable I clench my teeth at night. My facial muscles don't have a stable biting platform, so they brace and ache all the time. I hope once my bite is fixed everything will quiet down.

Im 16 y.o and my jaw just do that things
As this video shows healthy functions, you should be good!
