I am so grateful that I found these three videos I only did this once and can already feel a difference. As a singer the clicking jaw really restricted me from getting to certain notes. this is amazing. thank you so much
Y’ALL THIS ACTUALLY WORKS, thank youuu doctor I’ve been having this jaw clicking a whole year it i had 0 pain but was bothering me because it clicks all the time while eating, talking even yawning, and I stumbled upon his videos and just in 3 days i was did what he advised us to do and viola the clicking sounds and feels 80% less than before👏🏻👏🏻 I will stick to it till it is totally gone Ps: this is the exercise that made the difference, do it very very very slowing you will feel a pressure
@@stfudmbduck-gu2eq tbh i did it for 2 weeks, the clicks never stop but its not as noticeable as before, AND when i chew something like chewing gums or something hard the clicks returns but after i finish it becomes softer. But what really is different is the pressure i was feeling on the jaw thanks god 80% is gone.
"Perhaps the purpose of this clicking in your jaw is to slow you down" what great words to define the purpose of a disease or problem , thats why it is said everything happens for a reason so even a disease has a purpose for you
Just had to comment. I watched the first two vids as well. You, my friend, have solved a problem of mine that has persisted for over 10 years. I was VERY skeptical. I am VERY pleasantly surprised.
I had a bit of jaw pain from a week now and kinda started popping but the pain has reduced and after I tried this exercise the popping has definitely improved a lot this works a lot I suggest everyone to try it for a month I'm eager to see what happens after a month of trying these exercises.
I’m glad I found this. It was my first day where I felt that click on the right back of my jaw. It's an uncomfortable and undesirable sound. I'll try this exercise, I hope it works for me as well🙏. Thank you for sharing this information and thank you for all the encouraging reviews from viewers with a similar condition.
It seems that there is a difference between the explanation given at the min. 2:35 , where I understand that the back teeth need to get in contact 3xtap, and the end of the video where it seems that the front teeth need to touch and tap before repositioning the jaw in the resting position. Can you clarify?
So this usually means that the condyle is slipping behind the disc on both sides when you close your teeth all the way together. You should avoid having your teeth touching together most of the time, especially if you are spending a lot of time with your teeth held together. If this problem just stays exactly like this, and you have no pain and no problems with eating or breathing or talking, then there probably is no need to pursue any sort of active or protective treatment. If the problem is painful, or if it makes it difficult to eat, breathe, or talk, then finding a TMJ "specialist" in your area is probably a good idea, at least to get a proper diagnosis. :-)
If u have over bite on the way down the top an bottom teeth will not meet.. but u can still do exercise .. I had braces years ago an my teeth moved out of place .. slight clicking in jaw on over extension up but no pain.. just click on yawning wide an opening
For anyone going through these videos. I've started doing all the motions/exercises suggested. But the effects of this one seem immediate (although not the first few times I tried it). The way I have to do this to not hear the click is to very very very slowly open my jaw, I can open it all the way, but also keep my muscles relaxed. Then very very slowly close my jaw. However, if my jaw muscles are not COMPLETELY relaxed then I hear the pop/click. It takes a while to get used to opening and closing the jaw while also relaxing, but I hear/feel absolutely no clicking. No idea how effective this is long term, but it gives hope at least.
Wow, the dentist said wear a guard and I never knew about this and I do massage but never knew TMJ could actually be cured, I never tried massaging it as my dentist said it would flare up and make it worse......love you I have lived with this for almost 20 years after having done stunts in the movie business I got what I felt was just minor injuries and know it was bad having a tight jaw and temporalis but wow......I am glad I found you
Man literately this helped me so sosoososososoosososososoososososoosososos much i cant thank you more thank you so much for this in one day my click has reduced i hope if i keep doing this it will go thanks a lit
I've had this thing for years, but lately it's really started becomming annoying. It depends, sometimes it's easier to open the mouth without much pressure. Sometimes it's almost a lock-jaw. I almost cannot open my mouth at all. I've been to the dentist and asked him for this, he told me to do that tongue exercise. But it was becomming very annoying since I couldn't open my mouth to eat anything at all. I'm gonna try it again, hope it atleast becomes less annoying
I'm really happy I found your videos, they have helped me not just through tmj exercises, but also lifestyle changes, like looking up and smiling.(I found I would hold a lot of tension in the front of my neck, because I would look down a lot in public) Do you have any exercises for Disc Displacement without Reduction?
Plain old range of motion exercises are good for DD without R. That's what I have going on in my own jaw! Both sides. I make sure to open fully many times each day, and also move side to side when I'm looking in the mirror in the morning and evening.
This is my problem also 2yrs ago, sometimes its lose me confidence and embarrassed when i eat in restaurant. Coz it's so noisy. I hope it's help me and my jaw noise getting better soon.🙏
I have 2 discs displaced without reduction after breaking lower jaw. Clicking on one side, tight muscles, limited opening, and I have to make a choice for treatment. Either 1. Something stuck on rear teeth to help relax muscles and create space for disc to return or 2. Botox in muscles and operation. I don’t know what to decide so am doing your exercises in the hope I won’t have to make any decision. Thank you.
Hello Doctor, I'm from India. I'm 23. I'm experiencing clicking on my right TMJ for the last 2 years. It happens when I chew food, yawn, speak out loud. I don't have any pain but it's quite awkward. I really had no clue how it started. One morning I woke up and while having breakfast I first noticed it. I was shocked and visited many dentists but none of them were of any help. All of them gave different suggestions. I went through many videos in RUclips and came across your channel. The way you explained is so practical and natural. The clicking happens on my right TMJ when I slightly open my mouth. Once the click happens, I can perform the full range of jaw motion. But again during closing at the time when the lower jaw goes into the biting position the clicking happens once again. It happens every single time. I've had sleepless nights just because of this problem. I've seen your 1st video of this 4 video series and felt relief. It's by far the best video I've ever watched regarding TMD in RUclips. Thanks doctor, your video support my problem. I'm trying my best to keep it natural, adjusting the lower jaw to diminish the clicks, performing the tap tap tap technique all day long. I've been performing this for last 3 months. I've not experienced any change in my problem. Please Doctor, help me. Thanks in advance.
Wearing a properly-made orthotic while you sleep would be helpful. But the reality is that the structures of the jaw joint are already loosened to the point that the condyle is moving backwards off the disc when you close your back teeth together. If you can prevent loading the retro-discal tissues some of the time, like when you sleep, this can help, and over time, perhaps the clicking will become less pronounced. But it might just always click. My ankles click whenever I walk. Unless I walk a certain way. It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it can be embarassing or annoying. Or, I can just not let it bother me. :-)
@@BuffaloTMJ That's the reason my mouth feels so sore and stiff when I wake up in the morning than any other time of the day. It's with me for 2 years, I'm habituated. I'll be satisfied if the intensity of my clicking becomes less. Thanks Doctor. Just one more question. Are orthotic and occlusal splint same? I should definitely go for one.
@@ShreyasChakraborty96 an orthotic, by definition, is intended to "straighten" a body part. In this case, an Occlusal Orthotic is intended to use the occlusion (the way the teeth fit together) to help straighten, or balance, or decompress, the jaw joints.
A splint, by definition, is intended to immobilize, or stabilize, a body part. We splint teeth together to keep them from wiggling around when they are loose. A "bite splint" is really a misnomer, but usually when people use this term, they are referring to what I would call a "permissive" appliance. Different than an orthotic, which is a "directive" appliance.
Dear Dr. Jeff, ( @BuffaloTMJ) deaf person here. I haven't really understood why we have to tap three times, can you please explain? I experience no popping or clicking, just I m clenhcing and stressing my teeth while it affects my inner eardrum (many times the feeling is like I am on airplane and that I want to blow my nose to blow it out). My guess is that my new hearing earmolds (especially on the left one) affected the whole ear construction and jaw. However, my hearing aid specialist doesn't agree that the new earmold could make such a nuisance or otitis pain. Thank you for your efforts!
My Jaw clicks when opned at very end or when mouth is full open then when i am about to close then one more small click. when i saw the movement of jaw in slow motion keeping fingers as shown in video in front of mirror then it drags to left and then moves down. so i have started opening it with toung up and also without .. i felt the candile . .. will be doing thiscregularly.. thx a lot..
Mouth no longer opens fully. Also bite is all on back molars, no longer can I touch incisors eg like when biting a piece of cotton. Whole jaw seems misaligned. Help!
Lie across your bed on your back with your head hanging over the edge. Relax and breathe. This will stretch the neck under your chin. Do it every day at least once.
I’ve noticed that for a few months I’ve had a big click on the left side of my jaw. I noticed with this is that my jaw tends to veer to the right. I think I might have had my CPAP mask so tight that it ended up messing up my jaw. Thanks for the tips!!
I mostly just have jaw stiffness since months now and very light popping (I can only hear it when I have fingers in ears) what's amazing is... the stiffness completely goes away when I block blood flow to the jaw joint, by pressing fingers under the angle of my jaw.. or lying down... stiffness goes down 90%!!! any idea what may be causing this doc?
My jaw doesn't click when i open or when i close. My jaw clicks exactly when i open my mouth about 50%, and then move my lower jaw to the right in an upwards motion. Why would this be?
My jaw clicks on the left, but it is completely pain free. I have had it as long as I can remember, no changes in all the years. It clicks early when opening my mouth, and if I close it slowly enough I can prevent a click. My jaw does open quite straight, to my surprise. Which exercise would you recommend? I have had this for so long it is more annoying than anything else and while I know surgery is an option, I am not one to choose that as my first resort. That’s a last resort, if any. I believe the cause is because I grind my teeth at night.
Part 1 is probably your best bet, and you'll probably never really get rid of the click totally. An orthotic to wear when you sleep would also be helpful, and I have 2 videos on that topic: "how to choose a mouthguard," and "why mouthguards don't work."
In the last 2 days i havent been able to move my mouth open more than a cm without it clicking and the other day i woke up with really painful lockjaw so im hoping this helps bc im going insane
Hi Doc! I found your video because I have tmjd and trying to do this exercise. My right jaw pop when I carefully open my mouth fully but when I put it back in position my left jaw pop/click. Would that be okay or I will try not to make it pop? Thank you doc, I hope you can see my msg. :)
Dear Dr. Jeff, I have a clicking jaw like you described in part 2, so I just try not to open my mouth wide, however this past week I've been having clicking almost every time when I CLOSE my mouth, just when my teeth are fully touching each other, for example while chewing. It can hurt a little sometimes although mostly it doesn't, but it's becoming annoying. Do you know what could be causing this? In part 1 you described a condition when it clicks upon opening the mouth, but not when closing. If there is a video about this, please do let me know. Thank you so much for your videos!
I'd really need to do a full diagnostic exam in order to know this. These types of things can't be described well over text. So first, it sounds like you need a diagnosis. But, regardless of clicking, you should try to open wide every day. Don't limit your opening to avoid the click. My right ankle clicks when I'm walking, especially up stairs. It can be annoying, but I would never consider a surgical procedure to "fix" it, and it's not painful or disruptive. My left knee clicks sometimes when I swing a golf club, and somtimes it hurts. Again, no way am I signing up for knee surgery. I do tai chi almost every day, and pay attention to my gait. ALL joints "want" to be able to move throughout their full range of motion, under LIGHT force.
If I lived closer to you, I would definitely com to your practice. Is there anyone in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area of NC that you would recommend I see for TMJ. Thank you.
Hi Doctor, this may or maynot be due to tmj. But when I hear only an older man's voice, my inner left ear experiences thumping that only i hear inside my ear. This doesnot happen when younger people or women talk. This doesnot happen when i hear music. Only when i hear rough voices my left ear thumps for each and every word they speak. Ear doctors have examined my ears and have cleared wax. But nothing worked. This happens only when i hear low pitched voices. I believe this could be Tonic Tensor Tymphani Syndrome. But I am not sure.
I've had this for years and I just pop my jaw a few times a day without even realizing most of the time, It's like a habit of mine... Sometimes when my jaw fails to pop, I don't get the satisfaction and it feels uncomfortable, so I keep trying until I get the pop. As time went by with popping my jaw, I started to realize that the way I speak was kinda getting weird and I think it's because of my jaw. It's like I can't even open my mouth properly to speak without a pop(Just a little open was fine). I just have to get through the pop while opening my mouth, even while I am eating. So I hope to just get rid of this...
My jaw clicking started 6 years back but I have ignored it then but am scared now after seeing things on the internet. I have no pain. Is it curable through exercise?
My jaw won’t open if I try to go straight up and down. I have to shift it to the side otherwise it locks and I physically cannot get it to open more. I had braces about 2-3 years ago and it made the problem a lot worse and more obvious. I’ve been to and orthodontist and an orthopedics doctor about it several times but they said it’s just something that I have to live with. Since then it has gotten significantly worse (about a year and a half) and clicks every time I open my mouth, along with constant locking and occasional pain. Do you know if this will cause permanent joint damage? And what would you recommend that I do?
I don't know if it will, but I've seen that it can. I have great disrespect for doctors who tell people they "just have to live with" problems. This answer is given when the doctor just doesn't know what else to do. A truer statement would be "I don't know enough about this condition to help you." I would recommend that you find someone who specializes in Jaw Joint Dysfunction, who will be able to order an MRI of your jaw joints and know how to read it. A stabilization orthotic can be a tremendous help to reduce the compressive forces on the joint for a period of time.
Buffalo TMJ The left side pop loudly-VERY loudly when opening more than halfway. After try one of your techniques I do notice my jaw does not pop after opening past the pop, then coming to rest at the tips of my front teeth, then opening again. But it does pop again after I let it rest back. This popping happens every time I open more than halfway and takes a good amount of forcing to open past the pop. Any suggestions/diagnosis?
I don't get hurt in my jaw but i feel my right jaw stretch when i open my mouth..and it's clicking jaw...are there any exercises can reduce my stretching?? I intend to move my jaw left to right and right to left...should i do this???
My jay does not click when I do this exercise. It only clicks when I go up right and down left. It jams a little when I open it when my back teeth’s are together. It’s free when when front teeth’s are connected. I can’t go straight rubbing my back teeth to from the jaw locks. This all is from left side of my jaw. Let me know what wrong.
Hello Dr..I have been doing this exercise for almost 2months now ..have some feedback..the clicking has reduced to a great extent now..jaw feels stronger now..had a question..the deepresion just in front of the tragus feels very little or nothing ..is it okay?or is this something I should be concerned for?would appreciate a reply..Thankyou doctor
Hello Doctor, I have had this jaw clicking problem for more than a year now. It started when I went from a hot room to the cold washroom to take a bath on a cold rainy day and my left jaw locked. It was locked for 10 - 15 minutes and it opened finally but with these clicking sounds. Tell me what should I do? There is no pain but I want this problem to be eliminated. I fear it is damaging my jaw and effecting my listening.
Hi Doc hope you notice this i just want to make a request can you create a video for all of this exercises how to cure Jaw clicking/popping so we can follow it everyday like how many minutes do we need to do each exercise. i think this might be more helpful for us. Thank You
Hello doctor my scan shows my mandbila disc is reduced in size they gave me similar exercises. They also say I have osteoporosis . Will I be wasting,my time fighting against the odds .or can I stop this getting worse
What if my jaw won’t fully open when going straight up & down? I have major clicking/popping on the left when i open kinda wide, and my jaw will only fully open by tracking towards the right before straightening back out. I know i have a slight overbite, and i can only fully open without any clicking/shifting if i extend my mandible way beyond my maxilla. I’m 24 and my jaw has been this way for as long as I know. I’ve been told i have a disc slipping on the left. I’ve had 3 orthodontists say I’m ineligible for any ortho treatment due to short anterior teeth roots. One wants to get me scanned for a night splint and see a physical therapist an hour+ away from me (in another state). He didn’t seem very confident in a solution though.. Due to my occlusion, i notice i’m only chewing foods on my left side. It almost feels like my teeth hit first on the left, ever so slightly. When i chew on my right, my jaw clicks and and moves away from where i want to chew, and just feels weird like my jaw wants to lock onto my left molars better. I’m in constant soreness & discomfort. I also think i have pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear that im wondering if it could be related? I’m starting to get ridiculously frustrated with this pain & lack of solutions. If it’s just muscle related as my orthodontist says, can i get botox to relieve my symptoms for a little while? What kind of professional should i be seeking out for my options?
Hey,doctor I had a jaw lock 3 years back while sleeping after this I feel a clicking sound even during biting of very soft diet.there is no pain .Does it normal ?how can I stop this clicking sound?Does habit modification is enough to stop that sound?I am too much worry and during sleeping I feel my joint gonna dislocate though there is no pain
Not normal, but probably no big deal at this point. It would still probably make sense for you to wear a protective orthotic at night. Don't worry about the sound, and look for some ways to manage your anxiety. Meditation is my favorite place to start.
So I've been having a popping/clicking jaw for quite some time now. When I force my jaw back a bit (or .. straight down actually) while opening it doesn't happen, but this won't allow me to open up my mouth that far. (A banana barely fits through the gap between my teeth). When I open my jaw "naturally" it goes forward a tat. This causes it to pop, so taking larger bites of food, or chewing on bigger bits is really hard without my jaw popping forward. So it basically feels like unhinging my jaw. Do these exercises apply to my situation as well?
Sir my jaw is producing clicking sound when I am opening my mouth from last 1 month..click happens after a little later in opening cycle....there is a little pain on right side...which videos should I watch on buffalo tmj ...how to cure this permanently...please reply sir
Sir I found your videos helpful please guide me I feel a pop when I close my mouth as I'm a deep biter and it locks and it's hard to close my mouth when I sleep . I feel pop side to side when I move back my jaw.
Treat the sleep apnea with an oral appliance first, and see if the jaw popping reduces. You'll need to find a dentist who treats TMJ and airway problems.
Yep! The point here is to show you that often the jaw CAN move in a way that doesn't click or lock, but our tendencies and habits take over when we are not conscious...which is MOST of the time. The more you can teach your jaw...and other body parts...stable functional movement patterns, the more comfortable you should be.
Hello. What about molar tooth extraction? I know there's a chance that this can make a joint problem. But, as a specialist, what do you say? Is this situation a serious threat and cause of jaw joint problems?
Taking a molar out can change the functional mechanics of chewing, and CAN lead to dysfunction within the joint structures, but usually in conjunction with significant parafunctional activity, i.e. clenching/grinding.
@@faris9720 I am working with a PT and have discovered that the tightness on my right side is what is causing my left side to click. Current exercises are similar to this video and some massaging of the jaw muscles. No side to side exercises yet. My clicking is definitely almost gone away. It is important to determine what is causing the clicking before doing any exercises. Unfortunately I had started with side to side exercises and ended up developing the clicking. Now I am more focussed on relaxing the jaw and neck muscles. Hope this helps.
@@nelidagarcia7412 oh thank you I heard some people said they went to dentists and unable to discover the problem, also an orthologist that did the jaw more of a problem and the patient says he/she dont look like a normal human anymore.

I feel like jaw position on right check different than the left one also it gave me click sound when I open my mouth, what should I do sir?please help me!
Well when I open my mouth my lower jaw goes to my right and if I slowly close there is no click, but if I try to straighten my jaw by sending it to the left, I get a big click. Trying to find that sweet place where there is no clicking and sometimes it is happening.
So the click comes from the right joint area, correct? Your right disc is dislocated when you close. When you move to the left, the condyle moves onto the disc. This is a GOOD thing. If you can just work on making it click SOFTLY, there is a chance the disc will remodel enough so that you don't lose range of motion. Part one is the video you'll want to follow.
@@noconintended just make sure you maintain good range of motion, and practice opening on center, with or without the clicking. An examination is necessary to really determine where the click is coming from, and what the cause really is. Can't do that on youtube. :-)
Hy sir firstly am very sorry because my engish is not very well but suddenly i have tmj problem before this the problem of tmj gives suddenly sound when i taking rest and this morning i was sleeping during the movement of mouth i heared the clicking sound from my tmj and now i feel some tiredness of tmj and it also give clicking sound i feel back neck paineand every night when i sleeping me whole mouth opened i dont please tell me its tmj problem r any breathing i have headich problem most of the time and also feel neck pain please reply me fast i will bevery thankfull to u respected docter pleaseee
When i open or close my mouth it doesnt go straight up or down. I goes sideways and then back in the middle. And theres that painful click. Please help me. Its been a week and im having headaches. I cant sleep
Can i do this tmj exercises eventhough i have occlusal splint on my lower jaw/teeth. My dentist told me to wear it 24/7 for 3 to 5 months. Due to popping clicking sound of my jaw and also i can hear popping sound on my ears. Can i do this tmj exercises. Please help me.
Yes, you should be able to do these exercises. If you wear an occlusal splint 24/7 for more than 6 weeks or so, you will start to make "permanent" changes in your bite position, and then you may need significant restorative dentistry, orthodontics, or sometimes surgery. Are you aware of this?
@@BuffaloTMJ doctor, i started my occlusal splint last january 14,2020. Can i still do all your tmj exercises eventhough i have my splint 24/7 my dentist told to wear for 3 to 5 months. .?
How come I can open my mouth freely, no clicking but if I wanted to, I can force or start clicking one side just by moving jaw from one side to the other, no pain?
I think my jaw is dislocated, I can’t open my mouth largely. It hurts every time sometimes it clicks and sometimes it’s stuck and I can’t open my mouth. Is this clicking or do I need medical help?
Recently my jaw started clicking, i noticed it when i was kissing my girlfriend and she told me that my jaw clicked, and now when i eat it sometimes clicks, i can tell its the right side of my jaw that's causing this problem
I got this problem. Whenever I put my front teeth together and then my back teeth together, something happens to my jaw that then I just cant put my front teeth together again. It normally does go back to normal after a couple of minutes or hours and allows me to put my front teeth together again. Does anyone if there is a name for this specific problem? Or how I can stop it?
I received immediate relief in doing this exercise. I now feel I’m on my way to healing. Thank you and God Bless you for sharing this exercise.
I am so grateful that I found these three videos I only did this once and can already feel a difference. As a singer the clicking jaw really restricted me from getting to certain notes. this is amazing. thank you so much

Wtf I’ve had mine only for about a year, has yours gone away?
when I open my mouth,first my jaw move to right and clicks.After opening a little more,it moves to left and clicks again.
Riveting.
Same
So this usually means that the condyle is slipping behind the disc on both sides when you close your teeth all the way together. You should avoid having your teeth touching together most of the time, especially if you are spending a lot of time with your teeth held together. If this problem just stays exactly like this, and you have no pain and no problems with eating or breathing or talking, then there probably is no need to pursue any sort of active or protective treatment. If the problem is painful, or if it makes it difficult to eat, breathe, or talk, then finding a TMJ "specialist" in your area is probably a good idea, at least to get a proper diagnosis. :-)
Buffalo TMJ It’s just uncomfortable sometimes
If u have over bite on the way down the top an bottom teeth will not meet.. but u can still do exercise .. I had braces years ago an my teeth moved out of place .. slight clicking in jaw on over extension up but no pain.. just click on yawning wide an opening
This is very helpful ,I tried those exercises for my clicking jaw I noticed ,I feel less pain...thank you and I hope I get better with this exercise.
Just wanted to know if it has completely gone away
For anyone going through these videos. I've started doing all the motions/exercises suggested. But the effects of this one seem immediate (although not the first few times I tried it). The way I have to do this to not hear the click is to very very very slowly open my jaw, I can open it all the way, but also keep my muscles relaxed. Then very very slowly close my jaw. However, if my jaw muscles are not COMPLETELY relaxed then I hear the pop/click. It takes a while to get used to opening and closing the jaw while also relaxing, but I hear/feel absolutely no clicking. No idea how effective this is long term, but it gives hope at least.
Update plz
Wow, the dentist said wear a guard and I never knew about this and I do massage but never knew TMJ could actually be cured, I never tried massaging it as my dentist said it would flare up and make it worse......love you I have lived with this for almost 20 years after having done stunts in the movie business I got what I felt was just minor injuries and know it was bad having a tight jaw and temporalis but wow......I am glad I found you
how’s it now.. still clicking ?
Thankyou very much doctor Sahab(sir) love❤️and respect from India🙏🙏
I will try your tips. Thank you!!
Man literately this helped me so sosoososososoosososososoososososoosososos much i cant thank you more thank you so much for this in one day my click has reduced i hope if i keep doing this it will go thanks a lit
I'm suffering with this problem, with his technique now I'm completely free from this tmj.
Are you free ?
Mam aapne kitne time kiya ye exercise??
I've had this thing for years, but lately it's really started becomming annoying. It depends, sometimes it's easier to open the mouth without much pressure. Sometimes it's almost a lock-jaw. I almost cannot open my mouth at all. I've been to the dentist and asked him for this, he told me to do that tongue exercise. But it was becomming very annoying since I couldn't open my mouth to eat anything at all. I'm gonna try it again, hope it atleast becomes less annoying
I've had a clicking jaw since I was a teenager. It doesn't hurt so I just live with it.
Have you ever encountered medial or anteromedial displacement before? And if so, would these same practices be recommended, or? Thanks 🙏
I'm really happy I found your videos, they have helped me not just through tmj exercises, but also lifestyle changes, like looking up and smiling.(I found I would hold a lot of tension in the front of my neck, because I would look down a lot in public) Do you have any exercises for Disc Displacement without Reduction?
Plain old range of motion exercises are good for DD without R. That's what I have going on in my own jaw! Both sides. I make sure to open fully many times each day, and also move side to side when I'm looking in the mirror in the morning and evening.
Buffalo TMJ Thanks!
This is my problem also 2yrs ago, sometimes its lose me confidence and embarrassed when i eat in restaurant. Coz it's so noisy. I hope it's help me and my jaw noise getting better soon.🙏
This actually works. Thanks
I have 2 discs displaced without reduction after breaking lower jaw. Clicking on one side, tight muscles, limited opening, and I have to make a choice for treatment. Either 1. Something stuck on rear teeth to help relax muscles and create space for disc to return or 2. Botox in muscles and operation. I don’t know what to decide so am doing your exercises in the hope I won’t have to make any decision. Thank you.
Such a handsome doctor.
Thank you!
Hello Doctor, I'm from India. I'm 23. I'm experiencing clicking on my right TMJ for the last 2 years. It happens when I chew food, yawn, speak out loud. I don't have any pain but it's quite awkward. I really had no clue how it started. One morning I woke up and while having breakfast I first noticed it. I was shocked and visited many dentists but none of them were of any help. All of them gave different suggestions. I went through many videos in RUclips and came across your channel. The way you explained is so practical and natural. The clicking happens on my right TMJ when I slightly open my mouth. Once the click happens, I can perform the full range of jaw motion. But again during closing at the time when the lower jaw goes into the biting position the clicking happens once again. It happens every single time. I've had sleepless nights just because of this problem. I've seen your 1st video of this 4 video series and felt relief. It's by far the best video I've ever watched regarding TMD in RUclips. Thanks doctor, your video support my problem. I'm trying my best to keep it natural, adjusting the lower jaw to diminish the clicks, performing the tap tap tap technique all day long. I've been performing this for last 3 months. I've not experienced any change in my problem. Please Doctor, help me. Thanks in advance.
Wearing a properly-made orthotic while you sleep would be helpful. But the reality is that the structures of the jaw joint are already loosened to the point that the condyle is moving backwards off the disc when you close your back teeth together. If you can prevent loading the retro-discal tissues some of the time, like when you sleep, this can help, and over time, perhaps the clicking will become less pronounced. But it might just always click. My ankles click whenever I walk. Unless I walk a certain way. It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it can be embarassing or annoying. Or, I can just not let it bother me. :-)
@@BuffaloTMJ That's the reason my mouth feels so sore and stiff when I wake up in the morning than any other time of the day. It's with me for 2 years, I'm habituated. I'll be satisfied if the intensity of my clicking becomes less. Thanks Doctor. Just one more question. Are orthotic and occlusal splint same? I should definitely go for one.
@@ShreyasChakraborty96 an orthotic, by definition, is intended to "straighten" a body part. In this case, an Occlusal Orthotic is intended to use the occlusion (the way the teeth fit together) to help straighten, or balance, or decompress, the jaw joints.
A splint, by definition, is intended to immobilize, or stabilize, a body part. We splint teeth together to keep them from wiggling around when they are loose. A "bite splint" is really a misnomer, but usually when people use this term, they are referring to what I would call a "permissive" appliance. Different than an orthotic, which is a "directive" appliance.
Watch this video for more detailed explanation of the difference... ruclips.net/video/GdcvV8-eIIY/видео.html
How many reps of each of these exercises in the series are are we supposed to do and how often per day?
Tbh I think as much as possible like whenever u get the chance
My question too!
Dear Dr. Jeff, ( @BuffaloTMJ) deaf person here. I haven't really understood why we have to tap three times, can you please explain?
I experience no popping or clicking, just I m clenhcing and stressing my teeth while it affects my inner eardrum (many times the feeling is like I am on airplane and that I want to blow my nose to blow it out). My guess is that my new hearing earmolds (especially on the left one) affected the whole ear construction and jaw. However, my hearing aid specialist doesn't agree that the new earmold could make such a nuisance or otitis pain.
Thank you for your efforts!
Thank you so much sir..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My Jaw clicks when opned at very end or when mouth is full open then when i am about to close then one more small click. when i saw the movement of jaw in slow motion keeping fingers as shown in video in front of mirror then it drags to left and then moves down. so i have started opening it with toung up and also without .. i felt the candile . .. will be doing thiscregularly.. thx a lot..
Mouth no longer opens fully. Also bite is all on back molars, no longer can I touch incisors eg like when biting a piece of cotton. Whole jaw seems misaligned. Help!
Lie across your bed on your back with your head hanging over the edge. Relax and breathe. This will stretch the neck under your chin. Do it every day at least once.
I’ve noticed that for a few months I’ve had a big click on the left side of my jaw. I noticed with this is that my jaw tends to veer to the right. I think I might have had my CPAP mask so tight that it ended up messing up my jaw. Thanks for the tips!!
Thanku so munch sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much it worked for me .....
I mostly just have jaw stiffness since months now and very light popping (I can only hear it when I have fingers in ears)
what's amazing is... the stiffness completely goes away when I block blood flow to the jaw joint, by pressing fingers under the angle of my jaw.. or lying down... stiffness goes down 90%!!!
any idea what may be causing this doc?
My jaw doesn't click when i open or when i close.
My jaw clicks exactly when i open my mouth about 50%, and then move my lower jaw to the right in an upwards motion.
Why would this be?
My jaw clicks on the left, but it is completely pain free. I have had it as long as I can remember, no changes in all the years. It clicks early when opening my mouth, and if I close it slowly enough I can prevent a click. My jaw does open quite straight, to my surprise. Which exercise would you recommend? I have had this for so long it is more annoying than anything else and while I know surgery is an option, I am not one to choose that as my first resort. That’s a last resort, if any.
I believe the cause is because I grind my teeth at night.
Part 1 is probably your best bet, and you'll probably never really get rid of the click totally. An orthotic to wear when you sleep would also be helpful, and I have 2 videos on that topic: "how to choose a mouthguard," and "why mouthguards don't work."
Buffalo TMJ thank you!
@@BuffaloTMJmy jaw clicks early when opening my mouth. Am i supposed to do only part 1?
In the last 2 days i havent been able to move my mouth open more than a cm without it clicking and the other day i woke up with really painful lockjaw so im hoping this helps bc im going insane
Hi Doc! I found your video because I have tmjd and trying to do this exercise. My right jaw pop when I carefully open my mouth fully but when I put it back in position my left jaw pop/click. Would that be okay or I will try not to make it pop? Thank you doc, I hope you can see my msg. :)
Dear Dr. Jeff, I have a clicking jaw like you described in part 2, so I just try not to open my mouth wide, however this past week I've been having clicking almost every time when I CLOSE my mouth, just when my teeth are fully touching each other, for example while chewing. It can hurt a little sometimes although mostly it doesn't, but it's becoming annoying. Do you know what could be causing this? In part 1 you described a condition when it clicks upon opening the mouth, but not when closing. If there is a video about this, please do let me know. Thank you so much for your videos!
I'd really need to do a full diagnostic exam in order to know this. These types of things can't be described well over text.
So first, it sounds like you need a diagnosis.
But, regardless of clicking, you should try to open wide every day. Don't limit your opening to avoid the click.
My right ankle clicks when I'm walking, especially up stairs. It can be annoying, but I would never consider a surgical procedure to "fix" it, and it's not painful or disruptive. My left knee clicks sometimes when I swing a golf club, and somtimes it hurts. Again, no way am I signing up for knee surgery. I do tai chi almost every day, and pay attention to my gait.
ALL joints "want" to be able to move throughout their full range of motion, under LIGHT force.
My jaw pops more when I move it sideways and not when I open. Mild click when I open. No one can fix my jaw. I challenge any dentist to do so.
I think thats a chiroprator job not a dentist
If I lived closer to you, I would definitely com to your practice. Is there anyone in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area of NC that you would recommend I see for TMJ. Thank you.
Hi Doctor, this may or maynot be due to tmj. But when I hear only an older man's voice, my inner left ear experiences thumping that only i hear inside my ear. This doesnot happen when younger people or women talk. This doesnot happen when i hear music. Only when i hear rough voices my left ear thumps for each and every word they speak. Ear doctors have examined my ears and have cleared wax. But nothing worked. This happens only when i hear low pitched voices. I believe this could be Tonic Tensor Tymphani Syndrome. But I am not sure.
I've had this for years and I just pop my jaw a few times a day without even realizing most of the time, It's like a habit of mine... Sometimes when my jaw fails to pop, I don't get the satisfaction and it feels uncomfortable, so I keep trying until I get the pop. As time went by with popping my jaw, I started to realize that the way I speak was kinda getting weird and I think it's because of my jaw. It's like I can't even open my mouth properly to speak without a pop(Just a little open was fine). I just have to get through the pop while opening my mouth, even while I am eating. So I hope to just get rid of this...
My jaw clicking started 6 years back but I have ignored it then but am scared now after seeing things on the internet. I have no pain. Is it curable through exercise?
How many time a day should I do this exercise and for how long should ach time?
My jaw won’t open if I try to go straight up and down. I have to shift it to the side otherwise it locks and I physically cannot get it to open more. I had braces about 2-3 years ago and it made the problem a lot worse and more obvious. I’ve been to and orthodontist and an orthopedics doctor about it several times but they said it’s just something that I have to live with. Since then it has gotten significantly worse (about a year and a half) and clicks every time I open my mouth, along with constant locking and occasional pain. Do you know if this will cause permanent joint damage? And what would you recommend that I do?
If you open all the way, and then close to the edges of the front teeth touching together, and then open again, does it click?
I don't know if it will, but I've seen that it can. I have great disrespect for doctors who tell people they "just have to live with" problems. This answer is given when the doctor just doesn't know what else to do. A truer statement would be "I don't know enough about this condition to help you." I would recommend that you find someone who specializes in Jaw Joint Dysfunction, who will be able to order an MRI of your jaw joints and know how to read it. A stabilization orthotic can be a tremendous help to reduce the compressive forces on the joint for a period of time.
Buffalo TMJ
The left side pop loudly-VERY loudly when opening more than halfway.
After try one of your techniques I do notice my jaw does not pop after opening past the pop, then coming to rest at the tips of my front teeth, then opening again. But it does pop again after I let it rest back. This popping happens every time I open more than halfway and takes a good amount of forcing to open past the pop. Any suggestions/diagnosis?
I don't get hurt in my jaw but i feel my right jaw stretch when i open my mouth..and it's clicking jaw...are there any exercises can reduce my stretching?? I intend to move my jaw left to right and right to left...should i do this???
thank you. so. much.
My jay does not click when I do this exercise. It only clicks when I go up right and down left. It jams a little when I open it when my back teeth’s are together. It’s free when when front teeth’s are connected. I can’t go straight rubbing my back teeth to from the jaw locks. This all is from left side of my jaw. Let me know what wrong.
Hello Dr..I have been doing this exercise for almost 2months now ..have some feedback..the clicking has reduced to a great extent now..jaw feels stronger now..had a question..the deepresion just in front of the tragus feels very little or nothing ..is it okay?or is this something I should be concerned for?would appreciate a reply..Thankyou doctor
Hello Doctor,
I have had this jaw clicking problem for more than a year now. It started when I went from a hot room to the cold washroom to take a bath on a cold rainy day and my left jaw locked. It was locked for 10 - 15 minutes and it opened finally but with these clicking sounds. Tell me what should I do? There is no pain but I want this problem to be eliminated. I fear it is damaging my jaw and effecting my listening.
Hi Doc hope you notice this i just want to make a request can you create a video for all of this exercises how to cure Jaw clicking/popping so we can follow it everyday like how many minutes do we need to do each exercise. i think this might be more helpful for us. Thank You
Hello doctor my scan shows my mandbila disc is reduced in size they gave me similar exercises. They also say I have osteoporosis . Will I be wasting,my time fighting against the odds .or can I stop this getting worse
My jaw is always cracking.
Interesting.
sorry for not know much but when i open my jaw wide the left jaw hurt when i open it what should i do
What if my jaw won’t fully open when going straight up & down? I have major clicking/popping on the left when i open kinda wide, and my jaw will only fully open by tracking towards the right before straightening back out. I know i have a slight overbite, and i can only fully open without any clicking/shifting if i extend my mandible way beyond my maxilla. I’m 24 and my jaw has been this way for as long as I know.
I’ve been told i have a disc slipping on the left. I’ve had 3 orthodontists say I’m ineligible for any ortho treatment due to short anterior teeth roots. One wants to get me scanned for a night splint and see a physical therapist an hour+ away from me (in another state). He didn’t seem very confident in a solution though..
Due to my occlusion, i notice i’m only chewing foods on my left side. It almost feels like my teeth hit first on the left, ever so slightly. When i chew on my right, my jaw clicks and and moves away from where i want to chew, and just feels weird like my jaw wants to lock onto my left molars better.
I’m in constant soreness & discomfort. I also think i have pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear that im wondering if it could be related? I’m starting to get ridiculously frustrated with this pain & lack of solutions. If it’s just muscle related as my orthodontist says, can i get botox to relieve my symptoms for a little while? What kind of professional should i be seeking out for my options?
watch his 1st video, I did that exercise the first day, and it actually helped me a lot.
Hey,doctor I had a jaw lock 3 years back while sleeping after this I feel a clicking sound even during biting of very soft diet.there is no pain .Does it normal ?how can I stop this clicking sound?Does habit modification is enough to stop that sound?I am too much worry and during sleeping I feel my joint gonna dislocate though there is no pain
Not normal, but probably no big deal at this point. It would still probably make sense for you to wear a protective orthotic at night. Don't worry about the sound, and look for some ways to manage your anxiety. Meditation is my favorite place to start.
I feel like it get stuck on something and is stretching it when I open my jaw straight, almost like it’s missed the disc
Left side jaw clicking while closing due to small accident. What is the treatment?
So I've been having a popping/clicking jaw for quite some time now. When I force my jaw back a bit (or .. straight down actually) while opening it doesn't happen, but this won't allow me to open up my mouth that far. (A banana barely fits through the gap between my teeth). When I open my jaw "naturally" it goes forward a tat. This causes it to pop, so taking larger bites of food, or chewing on bigger bits is really hard without my jaw popping forward. So it basically feels like unhinging my jaw. Do these exercises apply to my situation as well?
I can't open it all the way unless I swing it to the left and click it open. Should I do that ?
great video. Thanks!!
My jaw keep popping sounds for past 2-3 months and now i feel discomfort in mouth what to do now
My right side jaw is making crusing sound or i don't know how to explain this
Sir my jaw is producing clicking sound when I am opening my mouth from last 1 month..click happens after a little later in opening cycle....there is a little pain on right side...which videos should I watch on buffalo tmj ...how to cure this permanently...please reply sir
Isn't it the disc slipping ??? I can only.open my mouth wide if I click it.
My left jaw clicks twice.. When I open my mouth widely... Chewing gum will it solve the problem..
Sir I found your videos helpful please guide me I feel a pop when I close my mouth as I'm a deep biter and it locks and it's hard to close my mouth when I sleep . I feel pop side to side when I move back my jaw.
Treat the sleep apnea with an oral appliance first, and see if the jaw popping reduces. You'll need to find a dentist who treats TMJ and airway problems.
While I'm doing these exercises it stops clicking but when I stop the exercises it return back on clicking again , is it normal ?
Yep! The point here is to show you that often the jaw CAN move in a way that doesn't click or lock, but our tendencies and habits take over when we are not conscious...which is MOST of the time. The more you can teach your jaw...and other body parts...stable functional movement patterns, the more comfortable you should be.
@@BuffaloTMJ thank you so much for your response and for your help 😊
Hello. What about molar tooth extraction? I know there's a chance that this can make a joint problem. But, as a specialist, what do you say? Is this situation a serious threat and cause of jaw joint problems?
Taking a molar out can change the functional mechanics of chewing, and CAN lead to dysfunction within the joint structures, but usually in conjunction with significant parafunctional activity, i.e. clenching/grinding.
Thanks
I have clicking on the left side and will try this. I hope it works. What causes this to happen?
progress?
@@faris9720 I am working with a PT and have discovered that the tightness on my right side is what is causing my left side to click. Current exercises are similar to this video and some massaging of the jaw muscles. No side to side exercises yet. My clicking is definitely almost gone away. It is important to determine what is causing the clicking before doing any exercises. Unfortunately I had started with side to side exercises and ended up developing the clicking. Now I am more focussed on relaxing the jaw and neck muscles. Hope this helps.
@@nelidagarcia7412 oh thank you I heard some people said they went to dentists and unable to discover the problem, also an orthologist that did the jaw more of a problem and the patient says he/she dont look like a normal human anymore.
@@nelidagarcia7412 I have clickings too but it only happen to the left when I tried to sorta a crunch action also when I tried to move my head down itll click but need to look up and look down hard enough to make a click
So we're supposed to adjust a jaw slightly when we're about to go over the click, so it doesn't click, right?
I'm getting braces next month. Will this make any difference? 👀
Maybe
My jaw only clicks when im talking. Its wierd if i drink some water it go's away for a bit . It on and off but every i will hear it and others around can hear it to its so stressfull its been three months i have no pain what shall i do
I feel like jaw position on right check different than the left one also it gave me click sound when I open my mouth, what should I do sir?please help me!
Well when I open my mouth my lower jaw goes to my right and if I slowly close there is no click, but if I try to straighten my jaw by sending it to the left, I get a big click. Trying to find that sweet place where there is no clicking and sometimes it is happening.
So the click comes from the right joint area, correct? Your right disc is dislocated when you close. When you move to the left, the condyle moves onto the disc. This is a GOOD thing. If you can just work on making it click SOFTLY, there is a chance the disc will remodel enough so that you don't lose range of motion. Part one is the video you'll want to follow.
@@BuffaloTMJ No...my jaw goes to my right, but the click is on my left....it helps to open my mouth with my tongue to the roof.
@@noconintended just make sure you maintain good range of motion, and practice opening on center, with or without the clicking. An examination is necessary to really determine where the click is coming from, and what the cause really is. Can't do that on youtube. :-)
I heard clicking when I talk and some words not clicking. what does it mean?
My right jaw makes nosie when I open a little and also there is no pain and it is almost a year it is same

My jaw pops very loud each time I open my mouth...it doesn't hurt but m irritated sir...what do I do I even exercised but it doesn't help...😔
I have a overbite and it pops and somtimes pain when I eat what could this be do I need surgery ?
Surgery is usually a last resort. There are other things that can be tried first, many of which can be very helpful. First, you need a diagnosis.
When i open or close my mouth it doesnt go straight up or down. I goes sideways and then back in the middle. And theres that painful click. Please help me. Its been a week and im having headaches. I cant sleep
I have a question if we dont want to eliminate this sound will anything happen
Can i do this tmj exercises eventhough i have occlusal splint on my lower jaw/teeth. My dentist told me to wear it 24/7 for 3 to 5 months. Due to popping clicking sound of my jaw and also i can hear popping sound on my ears. Can i do this tmj exercises. Please help me.
Yes, you should be able to do these exercises. If you wear an occlusal splint 24/7 for more than 6 weeks or so, you will start to make "permanent" changes in your bite position, and then you may need significant restorative dentistry, orthodontics, or sometimes surgery. Are you aware of this?
@@BuffaloTMJ doctor, i started my occlusal splint last january 14,2020. Can i still do all your tmj exercises eventhough i have my splint 24/7 my dentist told to wear for 3 to 5 months. .?

How come I can open my mouth freely, no clicking but if I wanted to, I can force or start clicking one side just by moving jaw from one side to the other, no pain?
I think my jaw is dislocated, I can’t open my mouth largely. It hurts every time sometimes it clicks and sometimes it’s stuck and I can’t open my mouth. Is this clicking or do I need medical help?
Hi my jaw clicks while opening and there is anterior open bite too pls tell the exercises for that
Recently my jaw started clicking, i noticed it when i was kissing my girlfriend and she told me that my jaw clicked, and now when i eat it sometimes clicks, i can tell its the right side of my jaw that's causing this problem
Maybe you should try kissing less aggressively.
@@BuffaloTMJ you are not funny, i wasnt kissing agressively
@@iced2916 I am so funny. :-) Gotta keep it light, gotta be able to laugh a little. Do you have a question?
I got this problem. Whenever I put my front teeth together and then my back teeth together, something happens to my jaw that then I just cant put my front teeth together again. It normally does go back to normal after a couple of minutes or hours and allows me to put my front teeth together again. Does anyone if there is a name for this specific problem? Or how I can stop it?
