As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt the bones rubbing. What should I do?

Typical temporomandibular joint syndrome, the opening type changes at first, and there are fricative and broken sounds when opening the mouth. With the severity of symptoms, there will be symptoms of limited mouth opening. When the symptoms progress again, in addition to the limited mouth opening, there will be radiation pain in the ototemporal area, and even the mouth cannot be opened at all. . . . .

This is determined by the anatomical characteristics of temporomandibular joint, which is similar to ordinary joint. This joint consists of complex structures such as articular fossa, articular disc and condyle. It is characterized by complex and precise joint structure, frequent use, great stress and prone to many problems.

There are many reasons, and now it tends to be caused by mental factors, autoimmune factors, anatomical factors, occlusal trauma factors, etc. For individuals, many factors usually exist at the same time.

There is no good treatment:

Mild advice is usually to find your own problems, adjust your living habits, standardize your schedule, go to bed early and get up early, pay attention to reducing your physical and mental burden in your life, and don't have too much mental stress; Adjust physiological state, improve immune mechanism and reduce the damage of autoimmune system to joint structure; At the same time, I have the opportunity to check my oral health in a specialized hospital. Temporomandibular joint syndrome caused by a few occlusal injuries is usually caused by occlusal factors such as malocclusion or dentition loss. A few patients with congenital problems, including congenital anatomical abnormalities and congenital muscular ligament traction abnormalities, can only be solved by surgery.

Moderate and severe cases can go to the hospital for oral surgery or even the outpatient clinic of temporomandibular joint diseases. Small problems can also be treated with temporomandibular joint closure, and big problems need surgery. . . But the surgery. . . . This question is hard to say. The joint is too precise, and the postoperative effect is debatable. . . . .

In this case, patients can start with physical therapy and apply warm towels to the painful joints to promote blood circulation and dredge meridians. At the same time, we should pay attention to life, reduce the problems caused by mental factors, and pay attention to physical and mental health; Usually be careful not to open your mouth wide, and hold your chin with your hand when breathing; Eat less hard food. If it is unilateral mastication caused by missing teeth, it should be repaired as soon as possible, and bilateral mastication should be resumed to improve joint function. I wish you a speedy recovery.
