chewing on one side with lower midline deviation Posted: 02-20-08 19:56pm
Hi. I'm wondering if any of you with TMJ,
with or without midline deviations, feel
comfortable chewing only on a certain
side.
My lower midline is deviated to the left,
and I'm used to chewing on my left side.
Whenever I'm eating something chewy, if i
try to chew it on my right side, the
muscles on my left side feel VERY tired.
It would seem as if I was lifting weights
with my cheeks! lol.
Anyone know why this happens or does it
happen to you?

right side. its all part of the tmd for
some of us. it hurts to chew on one side
