I cried watching this - I have all of these symptoms. If someone had pointed this out to me in childhood I feel that so many of my issues could have been corrected.
@@theTMJdoc I’m not currently! I only started to investigate a few days ago, after my boyfriend pointed out to me that I breathe through my mouth when I sleep. I knew my septum was deviated, and dentists had previously pointed out to me that my palette was narrow, but I never made the connection with my forward head posture (which gets worse by the day) AND tmj problems. After watching your video I plan to call my doctor and try to get a recommendation
@@theTMJdoc Hello I have a question: I have a dozen allergies and when I was young I breathed through my mouth because of very frequent nasal obstuction. Since then I have corrected the placement of my tongue and now I breathe mostly through my nose. Today I am 21 years old and I have finished my growth. Do you think that in the future, the bones of my jaw should widen and the bump on my nose should disappear or is it too late?
I must have slept through occlusion classes in dental school. Your videos are worthy of a terrific CE and would be helpful to those patients with TMJD. Glad I found you.
In my opinion this sort of stuff should be 101 and fundamental to explain why we have the problems we have as someone with some tmj problems im scared of the people who might treat me since they probably know less then me in several ways
@@theTMJdoc One question i have is, do you think that one can live a full life of painless tmj that just includes one side clicking when opening as long as you keep good posture, dont chew hard foods, have good posture etc
Just found your channel, i had no idea there were videos like this on youtube. Im a 28 year old woman who has been diagnosed with this for nearly 10 years, its gotten worse over time. But watching your video has connected some of the dots to my childhood, things that could have been red flags to this happening. But since ive been diagnosed its been a long fight to get someone in the UK to take me seriously with it. I have botox injections twice a year but they don't last for long, maybe 2 months each time and I'm only allowed it twice a year as my dr says ill get immune to it. I hate to admit it but my mental health is really struggling at the moment dealing with the daily chronic pain from it. ive been on basically a liquid diet for the last 5 or so years. I appreciate you taking the time to explain things as thoroughly as you do, it helps bevause I don't always know the right words to use to explain it to a doctor. Thankyou, so much ♡ Edit: i had my wisdom teeth removed around 8 years ago and have had arthroscopic (i think thats how its spelled?) Surgery and flushing of the jaw joints around 4 years ago. Looking through your other videos, my jaw has been 'locked closed' for at least the last 5 years. I can never get more than a finger into my mouth do to restrictions and pain.
I'm sorry to hear this! Please try the muscle releases in my RUclips playlist called "tmj exercises/muscle releases" as many people have messaged me saying they've helped!
Thank you again for another great video! Connecting all the dots! Fantastic! I just had to erase my previous comment as I had commented that I had just read a great book by Nester called Breath and low and behold you bring it up at the end of this video! Haha- apologies! I found the book fascinating and love how he refers to all those who study and work with the jaw, neck, nose and lungs as “Pulminots.” Haha- great stuff! Referring to the concept Nester brings up in the book of taping the mouth at night to “inspire” nose breathing; do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you again!
Hi and thank you for your comment! Yes I highly recommend Somnifix mouth tape and if you purchase it, you can get a discount if you use the code PRIYA10 😊
Is there a way to contact your office or to find a dr in MA? I had an underbite before hs and underwent jaw surgery for it. I’m 37 now and after a lifetime of playing sports and lifting weights I’m running into all sorts of issues that I think correlates to this topic and the surgery. I just found your channel. I can’t even get the whole tongue to touch the top of the mouth lol. I have some work do! Thank you for posting this and please let me know how I can at least contact your office.

Oh no! Sorry you cried. Are you being treated currently? It’s never too late!

@@dwoh4345 I totally agree!

@@dwoh4345 yes it can definitely stay that way. or it can progress to the jaw locking closed. It’s impossible to say which way it will go.
This is so important information ! thanks
You’re so welcome!
Bravo. Take a bow. Regards Australia.
Thank you!

@@jakec5618 thanks!!
My son is 9 and his tongue hangs out of his mouth at rest. His frenulum is also very short. Is this a form of tongue tie?
i have a tongue tie (25% TRMR) :(
Sorry to hear that!
I live in Florida. Is there’s a way to receive online therapy for tmj ?
I’m sorry, no. Tmjd needs hands on therapy and in person appointments

Hi doctor
My nose hurts
Does mouth breathing cause pain in nose?😢
It could!
My roof of my mouth is narrow
I'm 23. What should i do?
Should i do ortgodontics or put miniscrew on my roof of the mouth?
I have it in unfortunately 😔
dont worry, it can be treated. dont lose hope.
sorry to hear this but don't lose hope!
When I try nose breathing, my tongue is neither at top nor at bottom of mouth. It's sticking somewhere in between. Is that correct?
no, that's not correct. It should be up against the roof of the mouth with a light suction.
👍🏼
Thank you!
Dr. De Armas
Haha thanks
