Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Dysfunctions or misalignments of the jaw can often cause various types of tension and pain in the head, shoulders, and neck. Our precise functional diagnostics help identify these causes accurately. We thoroughly analyze the jaw joint movements to determine the most suitable treatment for this complex condition.

Causes and Symptoms of CMD

Both the causes and symptoms of functional jaw disorders can be quite diverse. Many cases fall under the diagnosis of “CMD” (craniomandibular dysfunction), which refers to impaired coordination between the lower jaw and the skull.

Common symptoms include muscle tension in the chewing system or other facial areas. In some instances, jaw dysfunction can make normal biting and chewing very difficult. Speaking and eating may become challenging. In such cases, your dentist in Freising can use functional diagnostics to gather precise information needed to create a custom-fit bite splint that quickly relieves jaw tension. Our in-house dental lab can produce this splint swiftly for you.

Moreover, functional diagnostics in our practice can also form the basis for tailored treatment plans for a variety of other symptoms related to jaw and facial function.
