A sudden increase of 'Jaw joint disorders' patients due to one sided biting and chewing on a tough food during the winter season

A sudden increase of 'Jaw joint disorders' patients due to one sided biting and chewing on a tough food during the winter season



As the weather gets colder, muscles tense and contract, 
increasing the number of patients with "jaw joint disorders."

Increased number of patients due to cold weather. One of them is the jaw joint disorder. 
Jaw joint disorder is a term that refers to all the abnormalities in the jaw joint. 
Symptoms include pain in the jaw, headache, spine, and stiff shoulders. The increase 
in jaw joints in the winter is due to the strain caused by the drop in temperature. 
When the temperature drops, the muscles shrink, but the muscles around the jaw joints clump together and the release of stress hormones causes the blood vessels and nerves 
to contract. If you consider the disorder as a simple symptom, it can cause serious problems in your daily life such as speaking or chewing. In severe cases, 
it can lead to facial asymmetry or osteoarthritis.

The jaw joint is a joint that connects two bones between the mandible (jawbone) and temporal bone (head bone). When you open and close your mouth, 
you can feel the movement of your jaw joint when you touch the front of both ears. 
The jaw joint is responsible for exercise functions that are necessary for daily life 
such as opening the mouth, chewing, and speaking. Jaw muscles, ligaments, jaw discs (intervertebral discs), and jaw bones work in concert to create movement. At this time, 
if balance and harmony are broken, abnormalities occur. The most common symptom 
of a jaw joint disorder is a “click” sound when opening and closing the mouth and causing pain or incomplete opening of the mouth. It is usually considered to be a problem 
if the opening range is less than 40 mm when the mouth is opened as wide as possible. When chewing food, pain in the ears, temples, or cheeks can be suspected of impaired jaw joints. Dr. Soon-Sung Hong, director of Jahan Oriental Hospital, said, “The symptoms of jaw joint disorder are very diverse. In addition to the chin, neck and shoulder stiffness, frequent headaches and chronic fatigue, tinnitus, indigestion, poor concentration, facial asymmetry, and many other side effects. Neck and shoulder stiffness and headaches 
are especially common in more than half of patients with jaw joints. ”

Bad habits since childhood are the leading cause of impaired jaw joints. 
Hand resting on the chin, chewing food with only one chin, and lying down on the face, 
etc can disrupt jaw balance. The disorder that causes abnormalities in the jaw joint itself 
is the jaw joint disc. The disc is damaged between the jaw joints or the disc is 
out of position. Dr. Soon-Sung Hong said, “Joint disorder is closely related to muscle."
If one of the muscles that make up the jaw is damaged or a bad posture continues, 
the balance of muscles is broken and the bones are pulled to one side and 
the muscles become more nervous to stop it."

Symptoms can be alleviated by improving lifestyle. The habit of biting teeth or 
chewing food on one side must be corrected. Stay away from foods that are hard 
like nuts or chewy such as dried squid. In oriental medicine, jaw joint therapy is used to 
treat jaw joint disorders. Pushing the muscles and joints by hand to pull the treatment is to correct the position of the head and neck bones that are the center of the jaw movement. Surgery may be recommended for patients with congenital or structural problems, 
such as malocclusion or joint disorders. Dr. Chang-Hyun Oh, Director of Banobagi Plastic Surgery, said, “In cases of severe anatomical destruction such as analgesics, injections, 
or osteoarthritis, surgical treatment such as double jaw surgery is needed. It is a big misconception that bilateral surgery is regarded as cosmetic surgery for cosmetic purposes only. Double jaw surgery aims to relieve the discomforts of daily life by moving bones 
that have problems in size or location into place.”
