Did you know that people with this disorder have many symptoms that are common to other conditions and therefore difficult to diagnose?
When the mechanism that connects it up and down jaw does not work properly causes disorder in temporomandibular joint. In fact, this joint belongs to the difficult joints of the human body and needs special monitoring or treatment.
In order to proceed to the correct diagnosis, it would be good to report accurately and completely honestly the symptoms we feel, when they occur and how often. Some of the symptoms of TMJ disorder, as it is scientifically characterized, they refer to intense migraines, headaches, pain in the ears, poor fit between the two jaws, pain from the opening of the mouth or even from yawning. TMJ is one common condition which is found in large percentages of people and can create many problems, even reducing the quality of life of the sufferer. If you have noticed any of the symptoms mentioned above but also if you still feel doubts about yourself, try to prevent or fight the development of temporomandibular joint disorder by following the “homemade” tips that we quote below.
Try shaking or pushing your jaw
If you can easily push your jaw and hold it in this position for about 10 minutes then next time you will probably stop “whining” for headaches and migraines. The exercises, however, need repetition. In order to achieve this and have an effect, it would be good to open your mouth as much as you can and shake it from right to left.
Use braces
It’s time to learn how our joint rests with the help of some braces. A simple example is to place a pencil or some thin and long object between your teeth and start noticing “strange movements”. By managing to move your joint with small steps every day, then little by little you will be ready for the next step, which is the marker and for the final fight against the disorder.
Check yourself
Look at yourself in the mirror and focus on the convergence of the teeth, on whether the upper and lower jaws touch correctly and whether the lines we hear and hear in orthodontic terminology are equal. This works more as a prevention than as a treatment.
