Please PM me if you want info - it's on Amazon.

I've learned that the TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) is 1/16th from the brain, causes vertigo, blurred vision, migraine-some types, and so many things, oh choking, hoarseness, neck and shoulder pain.

Much is caused by head forward posture (ears not centered over shoulders if looking at the patient from the side).

Anyhow, I've had incredible improvement with easy to do things such as where the tongue is supposed to be placed in mouth when not eating.

I'm soooooo mad at my dentists - so many out there haven't a clue - they do crowns, re-alignment and on and on and the bottom line is teeth are not supposed to touch (except when chewing in the back molars) so all that changing of bite is a rip off for TMJ, that is.

Much is caused by head forward posture (ears not centered over shoulders if looking at the patient from the side) This is exactly what I was told by a physio who specialised in musicians' pain problems. She gave me exercises to help correct it.

Spooky you should mention the placement of the tongue as a dentist told me a couple of days ago that I've got "atypical tongue placement".  Apparently my tongue doesn't do what it should do when at rest.  Made me feel like a freak - but he was very reassuring when he saw how shocked I was.  I'm so aware of it now I keep trying to put it somewhere else rather than let it do what it wants.  Just what I need right now!  Apparently it pushes against my bottom teeth instead of just sitting there.  I can't say it's ever been a problem so I know I should just ignore his comments.  Very strange.

Hi Trey could you pm me details too please 

[Trey]

Jenny, let me answer you publicly (did pm and left this out because hadn't read the posts).  Your tongue should rest (the first third of it) against the little ridge just in front of your front teeth and against the roof of your mouth.  Your lips should be closed (creates a 'suction' effect that keeps your tongue (the first 1/3rd) against the roof of your mouth - easier than it sounds, but I have to break habit of tongue just like yours, I fear.  And your teeth should never touch, unless chewing, and then only the back molars.

Off to pm now.  Wish I knew if I could put title here - it is so, so worthwhile.

I have read some of these posts before I actually properly read the title - my mind was doing overtime!

Trey - I think that because the book is on Amazon then it is ok to post a link?

I have a wierd jaw and teeth arrangement. My teeth sit touching together when my mouth is closed, I think I look like Bruce Forsyth  My teeth slope inwards and there's not enough room to lay my tongue flat so it sits slightly raised and pushed up against my bottom front teeth.

I did go to see a maxillofacial specialist once because both my dentist and I thought it could be the cause of my headaches. He said if I'd been younger they would have broken and reset my jaw but he made me a bite riser to wear at night in case I was clenching my teeth. It didn't really help but he hadn't suggested making any further appointments and I didn't follow it up.

Stuck with this jaw forever now - wish I'd done something about it when I was younger.

You guys - put 1/3 of the tongue - the front third of course on the roof of your mouth with the tip against a little ridge just in front of your front teeth on the roof- the book describes this much better than I.  Keep your lips closed (relaxed) and this creates a suction to keep your lovely tongue on the lovely roof of your mouth.  In two days it became natural to me (when I think of it - I mean, I regress).

The tmj joint is right next to the trigeminal nerve  - a real nasty nerve if it gets irritated - one branch affects eyes, one upper jaw/ear and other well I don't really know - but the tmj (joint) is 1/16th of an inch from your brain.

This blasted affliction affects hearing, balance, tinnitus, blurry vision, swallowing, hoarseness, neck pain, shoulder pain and on and on.

I kid you not - knowledge is power and when you read her book it all starts to make sense and I want to go out and @!#$%^&* my dentists who have messed up my mouth and they are all so stupid.

Her endorsements are from top, top people.

All I know is her suggestions have already made a huge difference for me.  I am now a wonderful person.

After getting very "aware" of my tongue when reading this yesterday ( as others said) I just read your last post, Trey, thinking about whether you'd posted the link and so "forgetting" my tongue. I was able to check without altering anything and yay - that's how mine feels. 
I will check out the book though as I have neck and shoulder issues and do get referred pain in the flesh of my ear sometimes.

That link takes me to several books - which one do you recommend?

Hi Ladies
About 10 years ago i started experiencing extreme pain on the left side of my face ,after several visits to the doctors who kept telling me there was nothing wrong with me and feeling like a hypochondriac i went to visit the dentist and before i had even spoke, which was painful to do    he told me i had TMJ, fitted me with a mouth guard to stop me grinding my teeth in my sleep and hey presto pain free , But two weeks ago i  had a wisdom tooth removed and have developed a dry socket and no kidding the pain had been horrendous ,similar to TMJ which is why i went back to the dentist to see if he had knocked my jaw out of line whilst removing the tooth. Researching dry socket it was mentioned that ladies on the pill could develop this and i was wondering if HRT would have the same effect? as i didnt develop this when i had last wisdom tooth out pre HRT , Thanks for letting me moan on and look forward to your replies.
