The Guide for Temporails Muscle and its affection on the shape of the skull.
Several factors create the construction of the skull: genetics, general health, and muscular action. Yes, they do, though they are not the only factor that contributes to a well-developed skull. Now, let us see how these temporalis muscles participate in the development of the skull.
What is the temporails Muscle?
As shown in the picture it is the muscle that attached to the zygos and mandible and other bones and it is affecting the maxilla indirectly
Role of Temporalis Muscle:
1. Chewing and Mastication:
- The temporalis muscles actively participate in the action of chewing.
- Their frequent use may keep the strength and structure of the jawbone and thereby a part of the skull.
2. Bone Stimulation:
- Force applied by muscles to bones may stimulate growth and remodeling of the bones.
- The temporalis muscles, by their attachment to the skull and action during chewing, can contribute to the health and development of the skull bones.
Importance of Other Facial Muscles:
1. Masseter Muscles:
- These muscles, mostly acting together with the temporalis, are very important during mastication.
- It contributes much to the strength and in building the jaw bone.
2. Facial Muscles:
- There is a host of facial muscles contributing to the various expressions and functioning of the face.
- Their action by these muscles also helps maintain the balance and proportion of the structure of the face.
Whereas the general health effects of skull structure in turn partly depend upon the temporalis muscles, they are themselves part of a larger system that includes genetics, nutrition, and other muscles of the face. For the skull to develop optimally, all these elements have to interact.
there are a few techniques you can try:
Jaw Relaxation and Isolation Exercises
1.JOR Method (Jaw Opening Resistance):
- Put your thumbs behind your chin.
- Slowly open your mouth while giving a slight pull upwards with your thumbs.
- The idea is that this will engage the temporalis muscles without over-engaging the masseters.
2. STS ( side to side ) Method:
- Sit in a relaxed posture with your mouth slightly opened.
- Move your lower jaw to the left and then to the right without closing your mouth.
- It's been noted that this sideways action tends to employ the temporalis muscles.
3. Forehead Touch:
- Put your fingertips on your forehead, right above your eyebrows.
- Press your fingers against your forehead.
- But partly pull your lower jaw forward, keeping your head and neck in their places. Hold for some seconds, then let go.
4. Relaxation
- Jaw Relaxation:
- This is best practised at random intervals of the day.
- But avoid clamping your teeth together; also, keep your lips together but your teeth apart.
- This is best practised at random intervals of the day.
If you got any questions go ahead and don't hesitate to ask ( serious questions only !)
