As you can see for yourself, temporomandibular joint disorders are a very complex clinical picture with many different symptoms that need to be taken very seriously. A well-founded and reliable diagnosis is made by a specialized dentist using clinical, instrumental and manual functional analyses. The sometimes difficult diagnostic clarification of the various complaints close to or far from the head requires close interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists, dentists, alternative practitioners and therapists from a wide range of disciplines. The same applies to the development of a suitable therapy and is particularly important in the presence of chronic pain or other persistent symptoms.
In many patient cases, so-called occlusal splints are recommended for therapeutic purposes, which are precisely adapted to the jaw. These gently correct the distribution of force and relieve pressure on the temporomandibular joints. Temporomandibular joint disorders are so painful and restrict the quality of life that sooner or later a visit to the dentist is necessary.
