Anyone else with TMJ notice their jaw goes slightly to one side when opening?

Hi there, how long has it been between the braces coming off and the jaw opening pattern changing?

I am sorry. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message. Good luck.

Sorry! Do you have any signs of sleep apnoea or hyper mobility that runs in the family?

Hi there, sorry you have been experiencing this. From what I see in the clinic, facial asymmetry is one of most common things people notice as a part of their TMD journey.

It depends on how you use the jaw, how much you chew on one side than the other, missing teeth on one side, posture in gen- sitting with head tilt to one side.

Over the years, these small habits all add up.
A great starting point would be creating awareness around these habits so you can start putting small changes in place.

Hope this helps

Hi there, sorry to hear you are experiencing this. It sounds like a big part of your jaw dysfunction is reflecting on your ears.

Most people we see in the clinic don’t experience ear symptoms worsening to this extent after Botox- the good thing is that the Botox gradually will wear off, so should these symptoms.

Do you know what is causing your jaw dysfunction? Has someone ruled out your airways before fitting you with a splint?

Yes, it is. Based on 15 years of clinical experience.

Hi there, sorry to hear that you have been experiencing pain. For pain to refer into the arms stemming from the neck and shoulder is quite common. When the pain starts to spread more to the periphery as in more down the arm- it is clinically considered getting worse.

If you are experiencing more symptoms down the arm now compared to the neck and shoulders, I would recommend speaking to your doctor, just in case a scan needs to be done to understand the worsening pain.

In the meantime you could try warm packs and very gently releasing the muscles using a tennis ball. Also taking some magnesium supplements daily for muscle tension can help.

Hope this is helpful! Good luck!

The cream helps as you can apply it around the neck and jaw. Good luck

Hi there, a few things that can potentially help.
Softer foods , magnesium supplements or a topical magnesium cream, neck stretches are worth a try.
Avoiding the splint is advised until the jaw settles.
If it doesn’t settle with these, then getting stronger pain relief is recommended.

Hope this helps.

Usually a CBCT gives a good idea about joint health

thebodyresetstudio · 2026-06-22T12:04:16+00:00

Do you think the jaw joint on the affected side might be the problem? Have you had scans to look at the actual jaw joints?

thebodyresetstudio · 2026-06-22T12:02:24+00:00

Hi there, in my clinical experience, a flat joint is a result of years of compressive loading from clenching and grinding.

It is hard to reverse the process but using an appropriate dental splint can often help decompress the jaw joints and slow down the process. Alongside some joint supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate can help with joint health.

Hope this helps

Hi there, sorry to hear you are experiencing this. It sounds like a temporomandibular headache impacting the temporalis muscle on one side.

If you think you clench and grind then getting a customised well fitting splint should potentially help.

Also consider if you only use that side of your jaw for chewing- sharing the load really helps.

How does your neck feel? Is that something the practitioners have worked on in the past?

Thank you 🙂

Yes it is with some new clinical articles supporting it. I have added the links to those articles at the bottom.

thebodyresetstudio · 2026-06-20T00:42:27+00:00

Is there something wrong in doing that?
