The same thing happened to me. The doctor gave me a brace, which I put on as soon as I bit it, but it fell off quickly, and the more I corrected it, the looser it became.

There are quite a lot of people with this kind of problem. It seemed like I suddenly opened my mouth wide and it just happened. It’s okay for now, but it’s annoying and uncomfortable. I don’t know what will happen when I get older.

This is temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome, an oral disease. Suggestions:

Mandibular joint dysfunction is really difficult to treat

The sound is actually It is a very common manifestation of joint disorders. We say it is caused by articular disc displacement. When you straighten your legs, there will be a sound in the knee. If you connect the two, you don't need to be nervous. My advice to netizens is, don’t be nervous when encountering a simple popping sound. Don’t try again and again on a joint that snaps. How will it sound today and how will it sound tomorrow? Don’t try it. Repeatedly trying it will cause bad joint impact. Damage will occur. . There are many reasons for the snapping of the mandibular joint. The most common reason is the anterior displacement of the mandibular joint disc. There is an articular disc in it. Normally, the articular disc is above the joint head, which is what we call the joint head. Normally this will not happen. Sound, when forward displacement occurs, the joint head moves forward, and snapping sound may occur when the joint head returns to its original position. When he shut up, he slid forward again. Through long-term research, it is believed that simple joint snapping can be observed and does not require special treatment. If the snapping develops into joint pain, difficulty opening the mouth, or abnormal movement, you need to go to the hospital immediately for systematic diagnosis and treatment.

Relieving over-stimulation is the main treatment method for this disease. In addition, avoid biting things too hard and unilaterally pecking, and do not eat hard food. Correction through orthotics is also very important. Mandibular joint disorder syndrome The disease mostly occurs in young adults. Its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. The main characteristics of this disease are soreness and pain in the joint area, popping sound during movement, and difficulty in opening the mouth. Most of them are joint dysfunction and have a good prognosis; but organic changes can also occur in rare cases.

The main clinical manifestations of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome include local soreness or pain, snapping and movement disorders. The pain site can be in the joint area or around the joint; it can be accompanied by tenderness of varying severity. Joint soreness or pain is especially noticeable when chewing and opening the mouth. Snapping sounds occur during mouth opening activities. The sound can occur at different stages of jaw movement and can be a crisp single sound or a broken continuous sound. The common motor impairment is limited mouth opening, but excessive mouth opening or mandibular deviation when opening the mouth may also occur. In addition, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as temporal pain, dizziness, and tinnitus.

Specific treatment measures include:

1. Correcting the bite relationship is examined and treated by a dental specialist

2. For sealing therapy, 3 to 5 ml of 0.25-0.5% procaine can be used to seal the lateral pterygoid muscle. The puncture point is at the midpoint of the sigmoid notch. The needle is inserted vertically to a depth of about 2.5~3cm. When there is no blood in the aspiration, the medicine is injected. Often used for patients with excessive mouth opening.

3． Ethyl chloride spray combined with massage can relieve chewing muscle spasms. When spraying ethyl chloride, it should be in the form of mist, spray it intermittently, and cooperate with massage to prevent frostbite. And pay attention to protect your eyes and ears and keep away from fire sources.

4. Acupoint selection for acupuncture therapy: Xiaguan, Tinggong, Jieche, Hegu, combined with Yifeng and Taiyang.

5． Local physiotherapy such as ultrashort wave, iontophoresis, electrostimulation and magnetic therapy have certain curative effects.

At the same time as treatment, bad habits (such as unilateral chewing) should be corrected, and excessive mouth opening should be prevented
