Great advice. I am suffering from tension headache I'm getting a tmj orthotic made next week. And I have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea and already have a sleep apnoea splint. Thank you
Thank you for all the help, knowledge and power you have given your people like me. You have truly made me feel like I have some type of control and hope over my symptoms now, It’s an uphill battle but It’s one I can now fight. Do you have any recommendations for a dentist like you in the Chicago are?
Doctors told me my sleep apnea was so severe and my nose/throat area was so narrow, that a MAD would never suffice. I used CPAP for a whole year. What an absolute indescribable nightmare. Imagine how much distress sleep apnea can bring to your life. Triple that from the problems brought about by using CPAP. I asked my dentist for a night guard as I grind my teeth. He made a MAD for me. Now my sleep apnea is perfectly treated, completely opposite what my expert sleep apnea doctor told me. I wish I had the bravery to try out MAD first... Hope you guys will too. If it works, it works.
This is so good! I have been looking at additional treatments on top of my cpap. I am not quite sure I have TMJ, but do you think using a TMJ orthotic would still be helpful for people with obstructive sleep apnea? I know for sure now I have bad tongue posture.
Hi Doc Priya! I love and appreciate your videos. Have any of your TMD patients experienced hypersalivation? It’s an uncommon symptom that only a few people experience. Do you know how to treat it?
Dr as a child i always had very defined features and jaws as i grew older i developed tmj problems ( clicking and popping ) in the left side of my jaw and slowly crept to the right side as well because of this I am suffering from a recessed chin and lower jaw i told my dentist about this and he made me a night guard ( altho i dont clenching my teeth out of habit ) through research i have found that the recession in my face has occurred from bending of the condyles ( which my mouth guard worsened ) also to add that after the mouth guard was out into place i have developed the habit of clenching my jaw subconsciously can you please tell me what to do to stop and fix this recession of the chin mandible and ramus note to add that i have a wide palate and breathe through my nose your advice on how i can straighten my condyles and stop the recession of the lower jaw will be much appreciated
I’m sorry but there’s no way I can answer this without follow up questions and discussion. If you’d like you can set up an online consultation with me using this link 😊🙏🏼 tmjdentaldoc.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/1/treatment/8
Can you please provide references for dentist that use similar methods to you in Denver? None of the dentists in my area seem to know how to treat TMJ properly.
I have been experiencing all problems that you have mentioned Since 2020 but I don't know where to get treatment.If possible I would like to receive treatment from you. But I am from India 😮💨
when i was around 12 my dentist (not even an orthodontist) decided to remove a set of my upper premolars because he thought that my face didn't have enough room. this essentially recessed the front half of my upper teeth but left the molars in a normal position. now obviously to avoid having a massive underbite, my orthodontist then shifted my entire mandible backwards with bands so that my front teeth would line up, but now my lower molars are further back than my upper molars. i'm 26 and just recently rnoticed that my jaw naturally wants to return to its forward position and i've been pulling it back manually since i was a child basically. this has caused me innumerable health problems as i'm sure you can imagine. is there any way to extend my front teeth back outward and make room for premolar implants so that my mandible can return to its natural position or am i just screwed?
Mam i have tmj from 1.5 years now and i forgot my tongue rest position and I have been placing my tongue on the upper palette from 1.5 year but recently i visited another dentist because previous treatment doesnt reduce my pain now recent dentist told me to open the mouth wide then stick the tongue to the upper paletter but at the end of the palette then close the mouth slowly and then your tongue naturally rest on the lower side behind the teeth and thats your proper tongue position so is it good position or not please tell me??????? I am from INDIA
