The Torqued Mandible (Ep 5) of Open UP: A TMJ Discussion

In this Episode:
• Review of the Trifecta which includes deficient upper jaw, interferences with posterior teeth, and today’s topic, the torqued mandible.
• A torqued hip is when one side is lower or at a different angle than the other. A torqued mandible is when one side hits before the other.
• A torqued mandible is like a porch swing with one chain being longer than the other. That’s not a comfortable swing to sit in.
• It’s also like having one leg shorter than the other, at some point in life, there will be pain or destruction of spine, hips, etc.
