In our dental office, we consistently and seriously undertake the restoration of the dysfunction of the temporomandibular structure.
Are you also wondering if you have some kind of dysfunction of your temporomandibular structure?
Do you grind your teeth in your sleep or does your jaw hurt when you chew food? Or even worse, your mouth doesn't open and close easily and you have earaches? Then there is a possibility that you suffer from Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome.
The main causes are as follows:
- Malocclusion: The teeth are not properly aligned and the pressure when chewing is not distributed properly in the jaws.
- Bruxism: The grinding of the teeth, usually during sleep, which puts a lot of pressure on the jaw, joints and facial muscles.
- Injuries: An injury to the jaw or joint can develop into permanent dysfunction that gradually worsens.
The temporomandibular joint is the movable joint that connects the lower jaw to the rest of the skull and is located just behind the ear. Thus, at this point, malfunctions can occur that cause pain and problems in the movement of the jaw. As a consequence of all the above, the patient's quality of life is affected because simple and daily functions such as chewing, swallowing and speaking become difficult.
However, there are ways to restore temporomandibular dysfunction! One of the main ones is the use of customized splints to correct the angle of the jaw and the bridge of the nose. After examinations by specialized dentists, you can place splints, which aim to reduce the loads received by the structure and relax them.
When symptoms of pain, stiffness, or bruxism appear, the patient must contact the specialist dentist immediately to find a solution to his problem.
