TMJ Disorder: Reasons,Symptoms and Treatments

WHAT IS TMJ?

Temporomandibular joint is the axial joint that hooks up the lower jaw with the skull’s temporal bone. These joints maintain jaw plasticity. The jaw can smoothly make up-down and side to side movements along with enabling a person to chew, yawn or talk. There are muscles around the jaw joint too. These muscles control jaw position and movement.

WHAT IS TMJ DISORDER?

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder refers to jaw disorders. “TMJ Disorder” occurs when trouble arises in jaw, jaw joints or facial muscles that regulate jaw movements. TMJ Disorder creates dysfunction in jaw muscles thereby commencing excruciating pain while moving the jaw. Pain is the main syndrome of TMJ Disorder that occurs in regular cycles.

REASONS:

⦁ Unbalanced activity

⦁ Spasm

⦁ Overusing jaw muscles

SYMPTOMS:

⦁ Headache/Earache

⦁ Experiencing pain in jaw, neck or face.

⦁ Jaw muscles get stiff

⦁ Locking of the jaw movement

Some of our exclusive treatment services include:

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENTS

Jaw Relaxation: In the initial therapy, the jaw is relaxed by utilizing warm compresses. If there are any dental injuries then instead of warm compresses we make use of ice packs. Along with this, pain relieving medications are also prescribed. Jaw relaxation can heal temporomandibular joints. In this treatment we also follow stress-reduction techniques which will release stress as well as relax your jaw and body. The following care is expected from patient’s side:

1. Consume only soft foods and avoid chewy foods.

2. Avoid eating chewing gum or hard candy.

3. Avoid wide opening of your mouth.

4. Practice muscle stretching or relaxation exercises exactly as guided by our TMJ specialist.

Fitting Splint: A splint or bite plate of plastic is fitted surrounding your jaw by our specialists. This acts as a guard between the upper and lower teeth. This helps in:

1. Reducing Clenching

2. Teeth grinding

3. Ease muscle tension

INVASIVE TREATMENTS

Invasive techniques are used when conservative techniques fail to ease your problem. In this technique two needles are inserted in the temporomandibular joint so as to wash it thoroughly. One needle is attached with a cleansing solution filled syringe. This fluid exists through the other syringe.

This method suits many and the pain gets back to normal. Sometimes, pain relieving medications are also injected in a similar way.

SURGERY

We generally avoid advising this treatment to our valuable patients as it is irreversible. We apply it in extreme cases where the joints in the jaw are replaced with artificial implants.

Did you hear the scientists have found a way to grow colored cotton? Thoughts?

It’s not a ‘scientists have found’ and much more ‘people have been already doing that for thousands of years and it’s just gaining more attention recently’

[beowulf22121]

Scientists didn’t know. It should be “Scientists just found out”

[systlin]

There’s actually been a load of vitriol leveled against folks who try to raise traditional colored cottons, because a lot of cotton growers don’t want the colored cottons cross-pollinating with their standard white cotton.

But anyway cotton can be grown in lovely natural shades of greens, reddish-brown ochres, and browns, all of which deepen with a good boil in water with a bit of washing soda thrown in.

The color obviously doesn’t fade or run, because it’s not dye. It’s the intrinsic color of the fiber itself.

[angry-cajun-lady]

I....I want clothes made out of those colors. They don't hurt my brain!

[systlin]

Aren’t they lovely?

I’m biased because I love the natural earth tones of many fibers, of course...browns, blacks, creams, copper-reds, ect...but I think they’re just gorgeous.

Scientists recently found a fish darker than vantablack :/

they found 16 species of fish with “ultra-black” skin that absorbs almost all the light that hits it. these fish are practically invisible in the murky depths! the ocean is a rich menagerie of horrors!

[casputin]

By buying this fish you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated to Anish Kapoor, you are not purchasing this fish on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information and belief this fish will not make its way into that hands of Anish Kapoor.

Fun fact! Asexuality and aromanticism are super cool, and Absolutely part of the lgbt community! Identifying as ace and/or aro, or any of the labels on that spectrum, at any time of life, is totally valid! Changing your labels as you get older and grow as a person and understand yourself better is absolutely valid and sometimes, a necessary part of life!

You aren't too young to be aspec. It isn't something to be ashamed of, or something you need to compromise on to be happy in life. You belong in the lgbt community, and you are so valid.

“My husband got involved with a younger woman at work.  I was relaxed about it at first.  He’s thirteen years younger than me, so I thought: ‘Shit happens.’  But then she got pregnant.  Luckily through the divorce process I had the opportunity to take over this shithole place with no heating, which I’ve turned into an art studio. And now I’m living my best life.  Everything is for sale except the pink chandelier and the dog.  Anyone is free to stop by at anytime.  You can eat or drink whatever you want.  All the young people in the neighborhood love me.  I’m the oldest person in our friend group.  Everyone else is in their twenties or thirties.  They call me Queen Mama.  I call them my adopted kids.  I always help them with their school projects and resumes and interviews.  I only ask one thing in return.  Each of them has to teach me one new thing every week: a piece of music, a trend, an idea.  Just so I can stay up to date.  Before you take the photograph, let me go inside and put on some make-up.  We were out until 2 AM last night.” (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

wait romans painted their marble sculptures

it looks like a cheap theme park ride mascot

[memejacker-deactivated20150111]

yep

here’s a statue of Augustus

and here’s a reproduction of the statue with the colors restored 

[misterqueasy-blog]

i honestly think that what we consider the height of sculpture in all of Western civilization being essentially the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit to be evidence of the potential merit of found art

[space-gynecologist-deactivated2]

“I tried coloring it and then I ruined it”

[prokopetz]

And you know what the funniest part is? The paint didn’t just wear off over time. A bunch of asshole British historians back in the Victorian era actually went around scrubbing the remaining paint off of Greek and Roman statues - often destroying the fine details of the carving in the process - because the bright colours didn’t fit the dignified image they wished to present of the the cultures they claimed to be heirs to. This process also removed visible evidence of the fact that at least some of the statues thus stripped of paint had originally depicted non-white individuals.

Whenever you look at a Roman statue with a bare marble face, you’re looking at the face of imperialist historical revisionism.

(The missing noses on a lot of Egyptian statues are a similar deal. It’s not that the ancient Egyptians made statues with strangely fragile noses. Many Victorian archaeologists had a habit of chipping the noses off of the statues they brought back, then claiming that they’d found them that way - because with the noses intact, it was too obvious that the statues were meant to depict individuals of black African descent.)

[beautifuloutlier]

There’s a lot of good academic discussion about chromophobia in modern Western aesthetics and how it links to colonialism.

[argonauticae]

a couple of general points:

1) the reason the reconstructions here look like “the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit” is because they’re reconstructions. this is not actually what these statues looked like, and in my opinion they do roman art a massive disservice. the reason they look so “gaudy” (which is actually the exact same colonial attitude that led directly to the literal whitewashing of graeco-roman art, nice, very nice) is because the colours have been applied flat, with no shading or blending to give the impression of shadow. looking at contemporary roman portraiture, it’s clear that they did actually have quite a sophisticated grasp of shading and colouring, and to imagine that they would just suddenly forget how to do the dark bits when they were painting on stone is ludicrous. for context, this is a portrait of paquius proculo, a fresco from pompeii, dating from around 20-30AD, ten years earlier than that bust of caligula:

(also of interest in this regard are the fayum mummy portraits, dating from the second century AD; again, although they are of varying quality, the best of them demonstrate a clear understanding of shading. for example: 

and, to be honest: do you really think a civilisation that produced this

just, what, didn’t get paint? these reconstructions are laughable, not because they’re colourful but because they’re presenting an incredibly sophisticated culture as unable to understand simple artistic concepts; something that i think itself contributes to the idea of colourfully painted statues being ‘silly’ and ‘gaudy’, which again is an incredibly colonially-influenced idea. 

2) the reason graeco-roman statues are often missing the noses is because most excavated statues are generally missing the noses. they are fragile. the head of a statue is basically a football with details; the nose is the only protruding part and is comparatively narrow and thin (as opposed to, say, an arm or leg, which takes more force to break off but is still very much detachable, c.f the venus di milo) and is very, very easy to break off. although i am absolutely the last person to deny the racism that has been present in classics, the noses thing is really not a great example.

[historical-hatred]

Many sculptures from antiquity were defaced during the early Christian period. During riots, Christian mobs would smash the noses off of ‘pagan’ sculptures, as they usually depicted pagan gods, or emperors, and depending on the sect, any depiction of a person could be considered ‘graven’.

The hotbed of Christian zealotry was Egypt. Throughout its time as a Roman, and then ‘Byzantine’ province during its early Christian history, the province proved practically unmanageable due to its Christian theological riots, with the majority of the population not following Constantinople’s doctrine and theological orders.

This Roman bust of Germanicus at the British Museum was defaced - nose smashed off - during a riot that would have taken place in late antiquity in Egypt, so, 400-500AD [also, note the cross etched into forehead]

Probably the most known example of this is the destruction of the Alexandrian Serapeum, a vast temple complex in Alexandria, Christian mobs tore the temple apart, destroying and looting, tearing it down brick by brick.

Another example, outside of Egypt, is the Nika Revolts in Constantinople. On its creation as a co-capital of the Roman Empire, an unfathomable amount of art and sculpture was brought to adorn the New Rome, and during the revolt, for the most part this cream of the classical crop was destroyed, again, by theological mobs.

After Egypt’s conquest during the Arab-Islamic conquests, this practice would have continued. In fact, theologically, many of Egypt’s Christian sects were more in line with Islamic theology than what became mainstream Christianity in both ‘Orthodox’ and ‘Catholic’ doctrine.

Basically, if you want to know what happened to sculptures from antiquity, Abrahamic faiths happened to them. We divorce classical and ancient sculptures from their meaning - we see them as history or art, but to the new faiths, they were graven images, they were pagan, and they were destroyed or defaced.

[the-errant-bard]

I like this version of the thread. It has actual history in it not just “Victorian assholes” did it (which this thread also seems to be the only thing I ever see about Victorians removing paint from statues).

There was a Rubber Band Man in the office, and through some miscommunication and chaos he is no more. Over time, his descendants have appeared in various locales throughout Receiving--anywhere from network cable loops to tape gun handles to high perches above clocks, outlets, and more. Not all of the signs have survived. But the legend remains.
