The temporomandibular joint is like a hinge connecting your jawbone to your skull’s temporal bones, which is the front of each ear. This joint helps you move your jaw up and down and side to side so you can perform tasks such as chewing, talking, yawning, and so on. Problems you face with your jaw and the muscles that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

The Temporomandibular Joint is made up of bone, muscle, nerve and cartilage. Dysfunction in any of these structures can contribute to a disorder in the joint. One of the most common causes of a TM Disorder is neuro-muscular dysfunction, where the various muscles connected to the neck, face and head spasm painfully. In more severe cases the muscles connected to the Articular disk may actually displace it out of position causing additional pain, clicking & popping sounds and locked jaw. These spasms are caused by multiple factors like mouth breathing, tongue tie, teeth grinding, clenching, a bad bite, physical or emotional trauma etc.

The specific goal of breath retraining is to achieve physiologically normal nasal breathing 95% of the day and night since mouth breathing can have detrimental impacts on on an overall health.

Tongue tie, commonly referred to as “Ankyloglossia”, is a string of tissue called frenulum. This frenulum connects the underside of the tongue to the mouth’s floor and can be seen under the tongue through a mirror. The frenulum tissue can restrict the movements of the tongue and cause problems with language and speech disorders in children, Swallowing, Eating and Chewing, Drinking, Breathing, Jaw growth, Posture and Digestion.

In our practice we use the Functional Frenuloplasty procedure to release tongue ties for toddlers, children and adults. This approach has been adapted from Dr. Soroush Zaghi of The Breathe Institute, Los Angeles who is an ENT& globally renowned sleep surgeon who has established this functional approach to tongue ties. Dr.Ankita had got the opportunity to observe Dr. Soroush Zaghi, a renowned ENT & Sleep Surgeon perform Functional Frenuloplasty tongue tie surgeries at his practice in Los Angeles. She is The Breathe Institute’s First Indian Ambassador.
