Dental physiotherapy
Temporomandibular joint problems are a disease of civilisation, so to speak, and if left untreated they can cause a number of other serious ailments developing over time that will severely and irreversibly affect the patient as they age.
Here are some scenarios indicating that you might need to see such a specialist:
Did you know that the following symptoms could be indicative of a temporomandibular joint disorder? The more of these you notice in yourself, the more likely you are to have negative changes in your stomatognathic system.
Massage and relaxation of the overly tense muscles enclosing the mandible. Normalising the tension in the masseters results in less pressure in the joint and the release of nearby structures.
Separation of articular surfaces, repositioning of a protruded disc or prolapsed mandible.
Restoration of joint function - symmetrical smile and facial expression, ability to yawn, chew and other functions.
Work on correct posture and muscle function in the face, neck and nape - eliminating pain and asymmetry, normalising muscle tension.
A set of simple frequently repeated exercises
Relaxation splint - which separates the dental arches, also stretches and relaxes overly tense muscles (provided it is combined with manual therapy).
In addition to the medical steps, it is also very important that the patient himself also changes some of his behaviour: relax his muscles by keeping his teeth apart, learn to recognise when he is clenching his teeth, eat soft foods for a while, do not chew gum, avoid hard foods, reduce the stress that accompanies teeth grinding and clenching.
Are you struggling with recurring muscle, head and temporomandibular joint pain, your fillings often fall out and your teeth have become more mobile and you notice abrasion? These symptoms may indicate occlusive disease.
Occlusion results from an abnormal arrangement of teeth, muscles and the temporomandibular joint. It involves abnormal contact between the opposing teeth – the upper and lower arch – which causes strain on the jaw muscles and results in many troublesome symptoms. As a result of untreated occlusal disease, teeth can start to shift and become loose, which can even lead to tooth loss.
At Dental Medicenter, we begin the treatment of occlusion by performing a thorough diagnostic examination. We use state-of-the-art digital oral imaging solutions to provide a comprehensive radiology system. This allows us to take high-quality tomographic, pantomographic, fragmentary, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), cervical spine and maxillary sinus images.
Based on the diagnostic results, the dentist develops a personalised treatment plan, precisely defining each step. In occlusive disease, speed of detection is important – the earlier it happens, the quicker and easier it can be treated. Do not underestimate the first symptoms. Make an appointment for an examination as soon as you notice problems such as difficulty opening your mouth, tinnitus, recurring headaches, grinding of teeth or clenching of the jaw
