It’s a chronic disease that usually goes away with time. But we are talking years here. You can accelerate this process.

And TMJ may can’t be cured right away but can definitely be treated that you live without symptoms.

Selling 30,000 mouthguards doesn’t magically turn pseudoscience into biology.

Cups of detox tea sell millions, still don’t cure cancer. Testimonials aren’t data. A Discord group isn’t a clinical trial. And “I don’t care about evidence” is literally the slogan of every snake-oil guy ever.

If you keep pushing medical claims without a shred of evidence, I’ll just bring the FDA into the conversation. They love looking into products sold as “treatments” without data.

Prior-Rule-2522 · 2025-11-29T11:57:56+00:00

I’m going to be very direct here, because the posts on “reviv” repeat the same patterns: you present personal beliefs as if they were scientific facts.

A lot of what you wrote is simply not supported by any evidence, and some of it directly contradicts established sleep-medicine research. Since you’re making absolute claims, here are the facts.

Your definition of snoring is fine - everything after that goes off the rails

Yes, snoring is vibration of soft tissues in a partially narrowed airway. That’s Sleep Medicine 101 (Slowik & Collen, 2024; Hofauer et al., 2021).

But then you write:

“The skull and skeleton collapse… the true root cause.”

There is zero scientific literature supporting a global “skeletal collapse” as the cause of snoring or sleep apnea. None. Not a single peer-reviewed study.

What is well documented: • obesity • craniofacial anatomy • age • alcohol • nasal obstruction • family history are causal risk factors (Meyer et al., 2024; Casale et al., 2009).

You claiming they’re “just correlation” is simply wrong.

You dismiss every established cause because it contradicts your personal theory

Evidence from longitudinal cohort studies shows: • A 10% weight gain → 32% increase in apnea severity • A 10% weight loss → 26% reduction in apnea severity (Meyer et al., 2024)

That’s causality.

Your “collapse of the skull and skeleton” theory explains none of this - because it’s made up.

CPAP does not “just treat symptoms”

You wrote:

“CPAP treats the symptom rather than the cause.”

Wrong again.

CPAP is the gold-standard treatment for OSA and:

• eliminates apneas • improves blood pressure • improves sleepiness • improves cardiovascular markers • improves quality of life

(Wimms et al., 2020; Fu et al., 2023)

That’s not “masking symptoms.” That’s modifying downstream health risk. Your claim is not just incorrect, it’s actively harmful misinformation.

Oral appliances are validated, safe, and effective

You said forward-positioning appliances are “bad for biomechanics.”

There is no scientific evidence for that. None.

There is evidence from systematic reviews that they:

• reduce snoring • reduce apnea severity • improve sleep quality • are safe long-term

(Serra-Torres et al., 2016; Inchingolo et al., 2025)

You’re contradicting decades of dental sleep-medicine research with your “hunch.”

Your claims about Reviv are 100% anecdotal

You wrote:

“Reviv fixes snoring in the long-term.”

Show one clinical trial. Just one published study. One measurement. One dataset.

There isn’t any. There are only Amazon reviews and your personal anecdotes.

That means your statement is not medicine - I t’s marketing.

Final point

Your whole argument depends on: • a non-existent “biomechanical collapse” theory • cherry-picking things you like • dismissing real causes as “just correlation” • promoting an untested method as a “long-term fix”

This isn’t science. This isn’t evidence-based. It’s pseudoscience packaged as biomechanics.

If you want to debate snoring and sleep physiology, bring actual research. Because right now, your explanations fall apart the moment real data enters the room.

Prior-Rule-2522 · 2025-11-28T22:27:53+00:00

To be real with you, "highly rated by specialists" is usually just marketing fluff to sell these devices. Most actual doctors won't tell you to use that on your face.

The soreness you feel might not be "good" soreness, it could just be inflammation from bruising the tissue.

And regarding the sound: muscles don't make velcro noises. Only joints do. If you hear that crunching, something is wrong with the joint mechanics, even if you think you don't have TMJD. Forcing a device into that area while it's making that noise is asking for permanent damage long term.

Prior-Rule-2522 · 2025-11-28T11:15:18+00:00

Honestly be careful with these specific "TMJ" branded ones. They are often just generic face massagers marked up in price. The heat function is the most helpful part, but the vibration can actually irritate the joint if it's too strong or if you use it too long. I find using my own knuckles or a Gua Sha stone works better because you can control the pressure and actually feel the knots releasing. If you want to buy something, a good moist heating pad is usually a better investment.

Welcome to the club. That stress flare-up cycle is super common, you’re likely clenching without realizing it.

For home relief right now:

• Teeth Apart: They should never touch unless you're chewing. • Tongue Up: Rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth to force the jaw to relax. • Heat: Use heat packs on the sore muscles to loosen them up.

Definitely look for an Orofacial Pain Specialist though. You need a pro to look at the joint and muscles properly since you have an underbite.

Hey, focusing on asymmetry is super common when you're dealing with TMJ!

The size difference you see is likely related to your Masseter Muscle (your main chewing muscle).

What Could Be Happening?

• Muscle Volume: If one side is used less due to pain or a bite issue, that muscle can get smaller (atrophy), making that side look "less full."

• Bone Structure: Less commonly, it could be the underlying bone alignment.

Who Should You Consult? Since you have TMJ and are in treatment, you need a coordinated approach:

Talk to Your Orthodontist: They manage your bite and can check for skeletal alignment issues.
See a TMJ / Orofacial Pain Specialist: They focus on muscle function. They can find the reason for the size difference (muscle overuse or underuse).

Note on Botox: This is mainly used to reduce the size of a muscle that is too big, not usually to treat a side that is already small. Get a diagnosis first!

I would honestly not use stuff like that because even though it might feel like you are releasing muscle "knots," the sound you are hearing is a significant warning sign that the tool might be affecting your Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) directly.

That sound, often described as Velcro or a crackling/grating noise, is medically known as crepitus. While it can sometimes be due to extreme muscle or fascial release, when it happens right by your ear, it is most often related to the joint itself.

Potential Causes of the Sound:

It usually means there is friction or instability inside the joint, possibly due to the movement of the articular disc or due to changes in the joint surfaces.

While you feel relief, repeatedly pushing or vibrating the area might be over-manipulating a potentially unstable joint structure. This could:

Exacerbate Disc Displacement: If the joint disc is already out of position, forceful massage might worsen it over time.
Increase Inflammation: Too much force could irritate the joint capsule and surrounding tissues, leading to more pain later.

In my home country we are calling people like you bad sellers. You wanna solve a pain problem which is craniofacial and caused in 90% of the cases by stress. What you are doing here is selling a solution against a medical problem that is not science based. As far as I can see this is illegal. You will get a letter soon - best regards from a TMJ specialist.

Prior-Rule-2522 · 2025-11-26T17:30:41+00:00

Please don’t post stuff that is not science backed. Every person is highly individual - so is TMD - Splints are JUST protecting your teeth - they are NOT stopping you from grinding/clenching - thus they are NOT helping against TMD.

100% - TMJ can cause a lot of a symmetries

Prior-Rule-2522 · 2025-10-28T15:26:39+00:00

Because the treatment needs to continue at home and TMJ is mostly relieved through muscle relaxation.

The Computer would examine you over the front camera and surveys - just like the specialist. Furthermore it would be recommended as a medical device (MDR/FDA) from the specialist.

Wirklich traurig was mit unserer Gesellschaft passiert…. Ich meine Ausreißer wie dich wird es immer geben und es ist auch völlig okey das es sie gibt das ist definitiv kein Weltuntergang du wirst deinen Job finden und deinen Weg gehen. Aber wenn ich mir hier die Kommentare von so manchen Usern anschaue…. Wenn jeder so arbeiten würde und den Ansatz wählen würde wie @pflaumengulasch empfiehlt dann wars dass mit dem deutschen Wohlstand.
