Hello friends! This video is one that I'm so excited about because it describes a therapy that can be incredibly beneficial to many people - Myofunctional Therapy (MFT)! In this video, I explain what MFT is and the 4 main goals of this unique therapy.
The headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, jaw popping, jaw clicking, locked jaw, ear pain, etc that you may be experiencing (or have experienced) are likely related to airway issues and the way you breathe (mouth vs. nose). As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments.

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! I will also be posting about being a dentist and a working mommy to two wonderful children. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!

I love your videos. I have a narrow and arched palate and I’ve also ground my teeth my entire life, and one side of my jaw pops and clicks and sometimes gets stuck. I also had my deviated septum fixed a couple years ago. Now I can breathe and corrected my tongue posture, but have since noticed my jaw and teeth shifting, to the point where I’m going to need braces (again). It’s wild to think/know this is all related. It’s exhausting trying to address it all in the correct order! Thank you for outlining the steps at the end!

Wonderful video again Priya!! Thank you! It would be great if you could do a video on palate expansion, which sometimes is also needed to comfortably place the tongue on palate, and as you mention, the palate is the floor of the nose, so by expanding it, nose breathing will become better also. I received the microtens unit just yesterday by the way 😊 I will read the instructions well and give it a try this week. thank you so much!

@Magnulus76 2 года назад

Just be glad we live in a time with more awareness of these problems. When I was growing up, there was almost none among dentists. And when you catch these problems early in a child, they are relatively easy to fix. It's much harder when people get older and bones, joints, and habits tend to harden.

Hi Dr. Mistry, you should know about the work of Clayton Chan and Gneuromuscular Dentistry. Thank you for this video, I wasn't aware of Myofunctional Therapy and just by shifting my tongue into the position you spoke of, I all of a sudden can breathe really well out of my nose as long as I keep the tongue there. I have teeth crowding, not as bad as you showed in the video but it led to bruxism then after several decades led to TMD. I have an orthotic and am in the process of gneuromuscular orthodontics then will need several crowns to get a gneuromuscular occlusion to take the stress off my neck and shoulders and even back. Without the crowns I don't have a way of getting a proper occlusion outside of the orthodic which I do not want to wear long-term. Thank you for helping me with this video, God Bless you.

Your videos have helped more than the crazy $ I've spent on dentists and specialists over the years. However I went to this video from your 2 parter on the tongue, because I'm scared that just putting my tongue on the roof will cause more pain. There wasn't any guidance on that, just to see an ENS and a therapist. (no benefits so thats not happening anytime soon) So still scared to start forcing my tongue to the roof... but still super grateful for your vids. I feel like the 6 and 6 is helpful thus far. ❤❤

I have TMJ, but unless I have a cold and so blocked nose, which is rare, i have always sealed my lips, breathed through my nose and suctioned my tongue on the roof of my mouth, i also don't thrust my tongue forward when I swallow. These things just felt comfortable and came naturally to me, however, as I say, I STILL have TMJ, narrow palate, crowding, I suspect lip and tongue ties too 😢 but who can afford myofunctional therapy, palate expansion and braces???

That you for your kind words. what is J/D? Physical therapists have an entirely different education from those who provide myofunctional therapy (MFT). Those who provide MFT can be dental hygienists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, and more.

I feel like im the captain of my TMJ ship trying to set up all of these appointments and confused about order, frequency etc (PT, CST, OMM) Its hard to manage but even harder to trust a "TMJ specialist" and getting lead down the wrong path. I have new onset majorly painful muscular TMJ sxs that started after extraction and implants for me 2 months ago. I feel best in the morning (I don't think I clench at night but do open mouth breathe) and terrible after talking and chewing. My dentist isn't sure which appliance would help in the scenario. May I have your opinion with what little information you have?

Hello! Thank you so much for this! I have a question if you don’t mind: what are the possible out comes of having a tongue posture that is too far forward. My tongue rests on the back of my teeth/in between them- I think this is a subconscious result of me trying to stop clenching but I’m not sure, I could have been doing this previously! I hear a lot about the consequences if the tongue is too far back but not many about too far forward?

Too far forward can be a tongue thrust which isn’t great either.. it can cause an open bite in the front

Hi Doc, I was basically doing some myofunctional therapy exercises for one week that involved tongue stretching. I’ve already had tmj for 2 years. Basically just ear fullness and ear pain but now I’ve been experiencing fascial spasms for the past week. Mostly spasms and tingling from my jaw all the way to my cheeks. Is it possible that my jaw has been overworked due to the exercises? Will it recover on its own with time?

Hi there! If you have TMD, myofunctional therapy can actually make this worse. When this happens, I recommend pausing MFT and seeking TMD care.

I have been in neurological ward hospital because no one knows how to treat my debilitating symptoms. Should I stop wearing my flat plain splint all together.

@theTMJdoc 3 года назад

If the flat plane splint is not making you feel better, it may be best to stop wearing it, but definitely consult with your dentist before doing so. My video "How to Take an Aqualizer Bite - Updated" is a good guide for dentists on how to make an orthotic that will likely help relieve symptoms. Best of luck to you!

I would recommend seeing a TMJ Dentist or TMJ Physical Therapist for further evaluation. In the meantime you can watch my videos and do muscle releases at home - please watch the videos in my playlist called “TMJ Exercises/Muscle Releases”.

Hi doc and anyone else who sees this! I'm 33 and was recommended to an orthodontist who an open bite due to a tongue thrust, but the ortho wouldn't put braces on me until I'd gone to therapy. The only myofunctional therapist I could find in my area charges $4k for a year of therapy...do I have other, more affordable options? Edit: I haven't always had this tongue thrust but developed it along with a clenching issue as a result of stress.

I wish I could come into your office! Where are you located? I am from the Boston, MA area and I am having an extremely difficult time finding a doctor that will take my insurance. If you know of anyone near me that takes Masshealth I would really appreciate your help... I'm tired of crying in bed nearly every single day and losing job after job from missing so many days due to the excruciating amounts of pain I am in. Not to mention how much my face has changed, sloped forward and sideways etc... If you see this and I hope you do because I love your videos and really trust your views and opinions and respect your practice and advice... I am so desperate as I've been dealing with this for over 10 years now, age 25 and it just gets worse and worse every year, every month, every day! :( @Priya Mistry, DDS - the TMJ doc
