Welcome to the Community
Welcome in to everyone joining. Please introduce yourself by responding to this post, say which part of the world you’re in if comfortable, (helpful for connecting with others and provider recommendations), explain any symptoms you experience, or anything else you'd like to add. I find many people think they are alone in experiencing their specific pain, however this community has brought a lot of us together and taught me otherwise. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: This Skool Community is organized into three tiers. 1.) Free: You have access to our community and forum. Please connect, share, and learn from others. I will be contributing as well. You will notice four tabs labeled with a root cause for TMD (and all chronic disease for that matter). Each tab will provide a small sample on how we explore each topic deeper in the Premium Membership. If you are part of the free community, and have specific question pertaining to one of the four topics, please post it under that tab. I love organization and most, probably, definitely, possibly have OCD, so it's appreciated. 2.) Premium: All benefits from the first tier, and access to research findings, articles, video tutorials, blog posts, and any other information on my own healing journey. The founding ~40 members were given this for free. 3.) VIP: Benefits from tier one and two, along with biweekly group Q&A calls where you can bring specific questions or topics to ask about and discuss. Finally, as I grow this Skool, I will also be adding lengthier in depth videos on specific topics (topics can be requested) for one time purchases. Thank you all so much for being here, reading this over and hope to connect soon! With love, John

Hi everyone, I'm Heidi, Bay area CA! 👋 I started having intermittent jaw pain and clicking at 10. I'm 30 now and just beginning to realize how all of my health problems are related to one another, and what possible solutions might be. In my case, my tmj joints appear healthy, but I have a narrow palate up top, and a CR-CO discrepancy on bottom. This is also known as a functional shift or a "sunday bite" and was something I've done my whole life subconsciously to bite/talk/breathe decently... This is a big source of tension / muscular pain and also explains my sleep apnea. I think think because of the shifting, my teeth looking straight, and my chin/lips cover my bottom teeth, anyone not looking closely enough at my skeletal structure wouldn't have noticed. It took lots of specialists, expensive bandaid solutions, and many years to finally come to this realization (which is a big source of frustration) but I am now exploring options for palate expansion followed by corrective jaw surgery. It's scary as all hell to imagine, but I have hope that it'll help relieve many of my issues. I'm glad to find a community of people going through similar things and I look forward to seeing your journeys <3

@Katarina Simonić Hi Katarina! I was just recently diagnosed with a CR-CO discrepancy myself. I didn't realize I was doing it, but it pretty much explains my TMJ pain. I went to an ortho who encouraged me to relax and massaged my jaw until it sat back in it's proper anatomical position, measured, and then watched how much change happened as soon as I went to bite down or talk again, and measured again. I hope you have this looked at closely and get answers!

How you make it to 30 without anyone telling you your jaw is seriously jacked?? Beyond me. Let’s talk about it 😌
