Self-correction method for jaw asymmetry

There are many ways to correct mandibular asymmetry by yourself. When you suffer from a certain disease, you are prone to this symptom. Sometimes it is related to our daily living habits. For example, some people often chew with one side of their teeth when eating, which can easily lead to this symptom. Let us take a closer look at the methods of correcting mandibular asymmetry by yourself.

What is the jaw joint?

The jaw joint is located below the ear, in the concave joint of the skull. When you look down at your legs, waist, spine, shoulders and entire body, you can see that the bone of your jaw hangs down like a pendulum. Therefore, if the lower body is unbalanced or hunched, the jaw will also become crooked like a pendulum. In addition, the jaw is often used when talking and eating, so it is said that more than 80% of people have some problems with their jaw. Many people have mandibular arthritis or hidden mandibular arthritis.

Jaw joint deviation is the cause of face sagging

The jaw is the most visible part of the face. If the jaw is crooked, not only will the face look crooked, but it will also affect other facial bones. Furthermore, the jaw joint is connected not only to the bones of the cheeks, but also to the muscles that support the tongue and eyes. Therefore, the distortion of the jaw will affect other parts of the face, which in turn affects the imbalance of the eyes. Also, if it affects the muscles and skin, it will cause poor blood circulation in the face and cause facial sagging. So don’t underestimate the impact of mandibular arthritis!

We are so used to looking at ourselves that we may not realize that we actually have problems with our chin. Test yourself with the following questions:

・When the mouth is open, it is impossible to put 3 fingers in upright position

・The size of the eyes is different

・Often chewing ice cubes or candies

・ Frequent grinding or clenching of teeth

・Often biting your tongue or the inside of your mouth

・Even with massage, the pain in the neck and shoulder can’t be cured

・Chewing gum frequently

・The scalp gradually hardened

If you hit more than 3 options, be careful! This means your jaw may be crooked! If you don't pay attention to it, it may get worse, so you should treat it as soon as possible.

Here are the specific methods:

Jaw movement

Use a little exercise every day to eliminate fatigue. It is not only effective in eliminating facial distortion, but also for mild jaw joint problems. It only takes 5 minutes, and everyone can try it in their spare time.
