Looking for a solution myself
Do you have pain in your jaw or ear?
Complaints about the jaw or ear are common.
They can manifest as jaw pain, a clicking jaw, ear pain, tinnitus, or headaches.
At Oramove, we help you better understand where your complaints may be coming from and what you can do about it.
Do you recognize any of these complaints?
Not sure? Pick the most recognizable option for you.
Jaw pain
Jaw complaints can manifest in various ways.
Many people notice, for example:
pain around the jaw, cheek, or ear
a click or snap in the jaw when opening or eating
tension or fatigue in the jaw muscles
difficulty opening the mouth wide
headaches around the temples or above the eyebrows
a tense feeling in the face or jaws
more complaints in the morning after getting up (when clenching or grinding)
more pain after a stressful day
These complaints are often related to tension in the muscles or the jaw joint.
Ear pain
Some ear complaints are not only related to the ear itself but also to tension around the jaw and neck.
You may experience, for example:
ear pain without ear infection
a pressure sensation in the ear
a feeling as if the ear is “full”
tinnitus (ringing in the ears) such as buzzing, hissing, or humming
a click, flutter or vibrating sensation in the ear
symptoms that change when you
move your jaw
move your neck
clench your teeth
ear complaints that occur together with jaw tension or headaches
Rehabilitation after surgery
Have you recently had surgery on your jaw, for example after a:
jaw rinse (arthrocentesis)
arthroscopy of the jaw joint
jaw correction or bimaxillary osteotomy
After surgery, patients may temporarily notice:
stiffness of the jaw
limited mouth opening
tension around the jaw joint
fatigue when speaking or eating
uncertainty when moving the jaw again
A calm and controlled increase in movement can help to improve the function of the jaw again.
Important first: when should you consult a doctor?
Some complaints need to be medically examined first.
Contact a doctor or dentist if you:
suddenly have severe pain
have fever or swelling around the jaw or ear
can no longer open your mouth
experience hearing loss or sudden tinnitus
recently had an accident or trauma to the jaw
Oramove is intended for functional complaints where no serious condition is present.
