  • @TrenerBorisFarkas
    @TrenerBorisFarkas 2 года назад +6

    I don't have chronic pain but my TMJ is clicking because my bite doesn't fit well from up/down motion. I need to go sideways a bit and I rotate mandible on one side towards the neck (horizontal plane) alongside vertical rotation because my gums and teeth are deeper on one side of maxilla. I also have a posterior crossbite on one tooth that I am dodging doing this movement. When i correct my jaw with hands I can't do a proper bite but my jaw moves up and down without clicking and I can say there's definitely more symmetry.
    Mewing actually helped me (after approx 6 weeks) when the clicking became subtle in comparison to state before as the click were more noisy. I also started to use bigger interdental brushes after 6 weeks of mewing on top teeth in comparison to time period before mewing. I'm 35 years old. I am still going to go for braces to do the alignment.
    One last word, as Doctor Mike Mew said I used to have huge tongue and no space in mouth as a kid. My mother would tell me now that my tongue would stick out from the mouth all the time. I was also attending a doctor to teach me pronounce but these days when I'm talking my tongue would touch teeth on one side (affected by posterior crossbite) not the other one. Given all these bad habits. I think important to mention is, that my affected side by posterior crossbite is missing a wisdom tooth. I only had 3 to erupt. Maybe there is correlation? Other than that I am sure you need to align the teeth looking at how the joint is built instead of not looking at specifics of the joint. Good luck all!

    I fixed my TMJ by mewing properly, I am 34, now I coach people about that same. The chances are greater the younger one starts mewing, I did at 27. And I ended up developing my own routine, so as to boost results. You might want to google about growth hormone role in recovery time for example, but there is also much more one can do go get better, best, fastest.

      What I do, and have been advised to do by someone else who's had experience mewing, is. Switch between mewing with my back teeth together, and mewing with just my front teeth together (I have an overbite). I've found this works fine, so I can keep mewing as much as possible, while keeping it safe.
      If I start to feel any issues I can just switch to only touching my front teeth, or just stopping completely temporarily.

This takes pressure off the joint of the jaw and helps inflammation go down. Still chew normally. But at rest try to do this more. I have been doing this and my jaw clicking has reduced quite a bit.

      Chewing is a hard force and light contact is not meant to be a hard force. If it is your tmj is really messed up. If you keep your teeth in a bite position your tmj will remodel even if it is not 100% comfortable

      @Orthotropics  6 лет назад +25

      Debora, the old phrase "if I had a dollar for everytime someone told me that they don't put their tongue between their back teeth...." does come to mind. Sorry but I bet that you do. The front of your tongue might be on the spot but the sides of the back of your tongue is between the back teeth in nearly all modern humans to a greater or lesser degree and I've had endless discussions with people on this.
      For 99.5% of the time most people have no idea were their tongue is, and usually when the are aware, they are focused on its position. As such the sample of reference points they use to decide where they rest is completely bais.
      Countless times I've engage in this exact conversation then made a full examination, to see scalloping marks on the side of the tongue, showing that in fact the tongue is between the teeth. As a consequence I just don't believe them, and will not until we are able to research the resting position of the tongue in a more precise way.
      What a dentist did at some point is far less relevant than what you do everyday. In time I will go through TMD in more detail but being focused on one goal is important. One step at a time. #mikemew

    • @Grays_Plays
      @Grays_Plays 6 лет назад +8

      R Garcia, yes your condyle will preposition. It will always adapt to stay centric when your teeth are in their resting position. If you can learn to keep your teeth in light contact the majority of the time then your condyle will eventually grow to fit that position and will reduce your TMD symptoms.
      Just follow the Tropic Premise on all three points, (tongue up, teeth lightly together and lips slightly sealed,) and give it a really consistent effort and you will see improvement in your symptoms. Just don't expect to see obvious improvement until you really start to habitually maintain better oral posture, and that does take time and practice.
