How to Cure the Clicking Jaw - Part 6: The Bulldog Stretch

In this video, I'll show you the most advanced and complex movement of the mandible, translation.
Be careful with this one, and GO SLOW!
Remember, all joints -- but the jaw joints in particular -- like to be moved through their full range of motion, frequently, with minimal force!
This is not intended to be a strengthening exercise, rather, it is intended to help a "stuck" condyle begin to move fully through the complex translational movement out of the Glenoid Fossa.
This exercise isolates the Lateral Pterygoid Muscles.

I've been trying one thing after the next in an attempt to stop the loud popping every time I chew and have had zero luck. It's been so bad that I've avoided eating in public. This is the ONLY exercise that stopped 99% of the popping - and it happened within a few days of doing the exercises. I could tell my muscles were extremely tight when I started and have gotten a bit looser. THANK YOU for sharing this!!! I'm so grateful to be able to eat without the popping that I could cry. Now if I could find a cure for my tinnitus, which I thought was related but apparently isn't, I'll be beyond thrilled.

hello Dr. ive seen all parts from 1-6. i have a click at full open on my left side only. this started close to 6 years ago when eating a big hard piece of gum. when it first started i was barely able to open my mouth. now i am used to it. it does not click if i do the tong excersice, im good on 3 finger lenght, it clicks right after that in the 4th finger range. the clicking does not bother me anymore (ive gotten used to it) but the jaw muscular pain is at times terrible. espcially now after covid with masks, i wear my mask at work for close to 10 hours and I find myself constantly playing with my jaw, to correct the position of the mask. but when my shift is done i go home with massive jaw tension. also i know i sleep clinching or bitting down. i need some guidance and direction please.

Hi, I recently started having these “clicks” and “pops” when opening and moving my mouth or jaw, and I have been wondering if it’s something I should be extremely concerned about regarding everything happening in the world today. In other words, should I visit my dentist or doctor at this time? Also, even with my mouth shut, I can hear these clicks and pops with just moving my jaw side to side.

I talked to my doctor about this and he diagnosed me with GCA but I have no signs of it besides the pain but it only happens when I open my mouth too wide now I’m m wondering if I should have talked to my dentist first

[makethman]

Hi Doc hope you notice this i just want to make a request can you create a video for all of this exercises how to cure Jaw clicking/popping so we can follow it everyday like how many minutes do we need to do each exercise. i think this might be more helpful for us. Thank You

What if I'm getting clicks even with my mouth shut? What does that mean? I've been feeling it every day now

[pinkyharrigan]

Well I cant move my jaw forward because I am having pain everytime I move it. And I also can't eat like I use to.

[rijadzulovic]

I have noticed that I only get the clicking noise in my left jaw and it clicks loudly if I move it forward or to the left, while my right jaw muscles feel tighter and it doesn't dislocate as easily. I have also noticed that the muscles on the left side of my jaw are more stretched and stressed than on my right. If you have any words of wisdom to share I would appreciate because this has been bugging me for a while now.

Does having this condition affect your ears ! My ears a my jaw pop all the time it’s so annoying and hurtful! 😭

[jplfly]

Great series. Will be starting at #1 and move through #6. I'll let you know how it goes.

[daviddavis]

So my jaw only clicks when I sleep at night never during the day I’ll notice when I wake up in the morning or at some time in the night my jaw will be out of place and in need of being repositioned any tips/exercises on how I should fix this?

[HeyItsCharlie]

My jaw was okay until my dentist messed with it, because apparently my mouth was "too small" 🙃

[matemondovics]

I've been having jaw clicks for about six years and recently I've pretty much had enough of it. I thought braces are going to fix it but I've had them on for a year now and nothing changed. I can open my mouth as wide as ever and I don't have any significant pain or headaches from it but it won't stop clicking, I've asked my dentist and they said that "it's unfortunately my anatomy and they're going to do what they can once they take my braces off", now that's not too much information for me, does anyone know what they could have meant? Do braces really fix this, or do you really need to have perfectly aligned teeth in order to fix it?

[xdflow]

I feel like jaw position on right check different than the left one, also it gave me click sound when I open my mouth, what should I do sir?please help me!

[toxicwaste]

No cure for clicking jaw, once that clicks, it clicks. Not sure what to do here. Mine just starting recently, did all the exercises, none even improved it.
