What are some quick easy ways to relax your jaw?!


Question: What are some quick easy ways to relax your jaw?
My orthodontist thinks I have TMJ (a joint dysfunction in your jaw) & my jaw constantly locks all the time. I have a part in the school play where I have to sing in the upper octave so I need to create more space in my mouth. I've always had trouble with this but I decided to see if there's any techniques I could use to help me. Thanks.

I have had jaw problems. Not TMJ but very serious painful issues. I don't know if this will work the same but try it.
Up beside the roof of your mouth, beyond your wisdom teeth is a bone. Very hard to explain but you will know when you feel it. If you rub it with your finger, it may hurt just a bit. It's a sort of pressure point that helped me a lot. it's on both sides of the jaw, right at the fore edges of your soft pallet.
Also get stalk cinnemon. whichever side of your jaw is worse, smell the cinnemon with the opposite nostril and close your eyes turning counter clockwise or clockwise, the opposite way from the side that hurts, if both hurt do one side then the other. This may be a placebo but it worked for me.

My chiropractors advice

drink water or just lay ur jaw on a pillow.
