how do you solve tmj

[william.]

I have severe tmj, but only on the right side. The right side of my face is also noticeably weaker- higher gonial angle, shorter ramus, worse under eye support

Let’s get rid of the hurtful things first

Do you limit yourself on what you eat or not?

No, and it dosent hurt tbh. Just annoying and uncomfortable

 

[william.]

But i feel the need to always pop because of the constant tension

Alright good let’s keep it that way.

The tension is still there cause of the stress you’re putting in your mouth ie nuts crusts hard bread etc..

You now need to limit what you eat, not a whole lot just the red flags in tmj: nuts gum crusts and tough bread and red meat (steak fillets anything that chewy)

The tension will subside in about a week or two it takes a while, you NEED to stick to not eating them.

Would you say it’s internal or others can hear it?

If it’s internal you have a very good chance of keeping it that way just as long you don’t eat those things.
