Gnathology
Gnathological orthodontics is one of the main trends in modern dentistry, the goal of which is to study the interaction between the dental system and the human body.
Any orthodontic intervention aimed at correcting the bite and occlusion affects the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
The emergence of symptoms of musculoskeletal dysfunction is associated with improper treatment, the initial goal of which is to achieve an aesthetic smile. In the meantime, the functional aspects of the treatment are violated and the likelihood of the emergence of dysfunctional symptoms is quite high.
Causes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems include:
- Bad habits developed in childhood
- Stress and neurosis – the cause of tension in the chewing muscles
As a result, teeth may become loose, abrasion may develop – pathological wear of tooth tissues, dislocation of joints, and a tingling sensation in the nerves and blood vessels, which causes pain, especially when chewing.
Using special diagnostic technology, the clinic’s gnathologist investigates the causes of changes in the functioning of the oral cavity system. Based on the diagnosis, he looks for the best ways to solve the problems and determines the course of treatment. The help of a gnathologist is needed even in the early stages of dysfunction, and especially in the later stages of complications, when surgical intervention is inevitable.
The first symptoms that indicate that it is time to consult a gnathologist:
- Teeth grinding
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Exposure of dentin in the cervical area of the tooth
- Pain in the neck and face
- Jaw pain when chewing
- Pain in the temporal area when talking and chewing
- Difficulty opening the mouth
Pain in the angle of the lower jaw is the main symptom of temporomandibular joint disorder.
The gnathologist decides what type of treatment the patient should receive after diagnosis.
