Diseases of the temporomandibular joint

Discomfort in the temporomandibular joint

Patients with diseases of the temporomandibular joint often suffer from pain in the joint or in the masticatory muscles, a clicking and grinding of the jaw joint, or a restricted mouth opening. The causes can be manifold. Stress-related teeth grinding or clenching often occurs at the same time. Treatment should primarily be as non-invasive as possible. For this reason, we at the practice for oral and maxillofacial surgery recommend the regular wearing of a relief or functional splint. In some cases, the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A can also be used in the area of the masticatory muscles to relax the muscles. We will be happy to inform you about temporomandibular joint disorders and the treatment options in cooperation with your family dentist. Contact us and make an appointment.
