Tongue Tie, Airway, & TMJD - Priya Mistry, DDS (the TMJ doc) #tonguetie #airway #tmjd

Hello friends! This video is one that I'm so excited about because it ties together many concepts - how nasal breathing is superior to mouth breathing, why that's important, how tongue ties play into orofacial development and how this can all affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and therefore TMJ disorders!

The headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, jaw popping, jaw clicking, locked jaw, ear pain, etc that you may be experiencing (or have experiened) are likely ALL related to tongue tie and/or airway and the way you breathe (mouth vs. nose). I've included some helpful animations and images that I hope will clarify all of this further. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments.

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! I will also be posting about being a dentist and a working mommy to two wonderful children. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!

I've been struggling with this my whole life. This is the best, clearest explanation I've found, and I will be sending it to everyone who asks why I had jaw surgery!

For others still in the process, widening my palate and have my jaws advanced actually fixed me! I am jaw-pain free for the first time in over 30 years.

I literally would have looked like a gigachad just like my dad if they snipped this when I was kid.

Thanks for the info, I have 3rd level tongue tie and I have/ had all the symptoms you mentioned.

I’m getting it snipped soon

Awesome job of explaining the Tongue Tie, Airway & TMJD Dr. Priya.

Priya, I'm in the Austin area. I have a history of reflux, sinus issues, TMD, bruxism, headaches and anxiety. 7 years ago though I developed chronic fatigue. I've had everything involving lab work ruled out. I've had 2 in lab sleep studies but they were inconclusive. Along with my chronic fatigue I have tired heavy eyes. I had 2 nasal surgeries but still have fatigue.

Very very useful information on your channel. Why nobody ever told us that there is a right way to hold your tongue and that nose breathing is the right way to breath ? I will practice it for the rest of my life now. I am having some light issues with TMJ and since I don't what it to get worse I am watching all your videos and I will be doing the exercices and the massages daily from now on. Thanks a lot !

Hi! I watch all your videos on YouTube and I find them extremely helpful as I’m going through a bit of a rough time with my jaw. I opened my mouth too wide and heard my jaw “pop” and ever since then I’ve had pain. I went to the dentist and she told me I have TMJ and sent me home with some muscle relaxers but I wasn’t getting any better.. I was getting worse. I waited 10 days of getting worse before I went to the ER because I was getting numbness and tingling down my neck ( my posture has been thrown off since this jaw problem) I wanted to make sure it wasn’t more serious. When I got to the ER they told me I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. I of course almost collapsed because I am familiar with with TN and I read how painful it is and how it’s a chronic issue. I know my bite is off because my bottom teeth have shifted and I clench my jaw when I sleep and when I am stressed. I really feel like I am misdiagnosed with TN because I do not have sharp, stabbing pain that goes away and comes back. My pain was consistent and dull but it has lessened. I do have a little bit of numbness where my jaw is on my right side and I still have numbness and tingling down my neck. I’m just not sure where to go from here. If I should see an oral surgeon or an orthodontist? Get an MRI? A splint? The dentist I went to didn’t even look at my jaw, look at my bite. I’m just terrified that this won’t go away. Thank you for any advice!!

Thank you Doc, I've been suffering from having a tongue-tied since I love narrating and I wanted to apply as CSR but always got rejected because I often mispronounce words.

[amyhoop]

Excellent! This explains alot of my symptoms. This is the best video. Thank you!

I immediately felt better implementing a slight suction with my tongue at the roof of my mouth. Wow. My tongue had been feeling crowded recently and I found myself grinding my teeth, and sometimes accidentally painfully biting my tongue and inner lip. I also notice that I feel better with my lips slightly apart, but still nose breathing because my tongue is sealing the nasal airway. We get thin lips as we age and I want to avoid this flattening. There are a lot of facial exercises to help tone the neck and jowl area and this tongue placement is a foundation for the breath, and posture, plus facial tone.

hi! i love this video, you covered many topics that I'm interested in. when i was about 6 i started mouth breathing, because there was no other way for me, i had a lot of allergies. i've been to many doctors but no one told me that mouth breathing is bad. about two years ago, when i was 14 i realized that my jaw joint hurts and I also found out i have receding jaw, so since then i like to research these topics. i often feel inferior, because of my problems. besides what you mentioned i also have swallowing problems, but i try to get better every day. i hope I'll recover one day, maybe someday. have a nice day!

Hi Priya! Great video! I was @ my dentist & 2x both the Dr & hygienist mentioned teeth should never be touching, except when we ate eating. I have watched many videos to learn more. However, I must ask you, (so far since last Tuesday, I have kept w this discipline) but I really want to make sure I am doing it correctly. What I am hearing is the tip of my tongue rests lightly right in front of the gum of the upper teeth, not touching the teeth, & the rest of the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth. I thought you said, the tip of the tongue & tongue rests on the roof. That would make it much easier. Which is correct. It seems more work for the 1st one bc I'm trying to do 2 things, the tip & the rest of the tongue. Tks for your video, I just subscribed! 😁

[rajarajanperiasamy]

What an excellent excllent explaination, you put the WHOLE thing together. Does not having your tongue on the roof also not switch on your para sympathetic state? Part of my overall diagnosis was that. I find that as a place my tongue on the roof on my mouth, my facial muscles start relaxing also. Is this related?

[AlexisWallace]

Smart and gorgeous! Another incredibly helpful video. Thank you Priya! I need to find a Dr near me who can see if I have a tongue tie. 💜

[seasonswithu]

So educational! :) Priya, could you please, let me know if anything can be done about the jaw itself, please, the jaw which never grew, as you said, to the proper position (and became retracted, causing TMJ issues later in life)? Thanks

[sisball]

Great video and willbe consulting with a tmj dentist as your explanation was spot on for what I've been deling with. Than you!

[broadcastdave]

I just got diagnosed with TMD. this video was helpful.

[nirajsinghkarki]

Thnxx so much I was too confused where to rest mu tongue 😅 after know about so many things like some people facing breathing problems because of tongue during night etc

[raymondmabhens]

Wonderful indeed thanks very much for your input God bless you

[goodvibesxox]

I’m looking to start the tongue tie revision journey. I have a posterior tie and my jaw does pop/deviate a bit when opening. Had ortho as a child for underbite. Now I’m wondering… you don’t necessarily always need expansion in these cases right?

And do toothborne appliances only move teeth and not safe? (Hear differing things and that only mse works in adults)

Also, you don’t necessarily need to spend on an orthotic do you? I assume those are temporary too, and even myo therapy and a tie release can help fix tmj? thanks!!

[mrssibelius]

O my word, I am 70 years old with a "short" tongue, which is constantly pressing agains my lower teeth, sometimes until my tongue tip feels raw. It probably leads to a very dry mouth with typical consequences. Most of you wil probably say it's too late to fix by Mewing. But I'm determined to crush this habit, which also caused weird lines on the sides of my mouth, reminding me of the Citroën logo! I'm curious to know if my tongue needs clipping or whether mewing will remedy the tt.
