Chewing dysfunction
Do your chewing muscles feel exhausted in the morning? Does your jaw joint hurt all the way up to your ears? Do you feel pain when chewing? Are your teeth getting shorter? Do you grind or clench at night?
Then you may be suffering from cranio-mandibular dysfunction (CMD) or myoarthropathy (MAP). In both cases, the interaction between teeth, jaw joint and musculature is out of balance. Recognizing and treating a chewing dysfunction is important. Thanks to a sound diagnosis and our many years of experience in the therapy of such disorders, we can alleviate your jaw problems and protect your masticatory system from damage. Are you wondering what you can do about teeth grinding at night, among other things? A bite splint made for you can help you relax your muscles and improve your masticatory system again.
