Temporomandibular joint disorders
(CMD)

Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) is a relatively little-known but nevertheless very common condition in dentistry. It is characterized by a malfunction in the relationship between the skull and the jaw, which the general public often refers to as a "wrong bite". CMD patients can suffer from a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, ringing in the ears, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain and dizziness.

Treating CMD effectively requires thorough diagnostics and a functional analysis. This includes checking jaw movements and chewing behavior and, where necessary, carrying out X-ray and computer-assisted examinations.

Our experienced team of dentists specializes in the diagnosis and therapy of CMD and works closely together to ensure comprehensive and individual treatment. With state-of-the-art technology and years of experience, we can offer you a tailor-made therapy according to the latest scientific standards.

Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) is a complex health problem based on a malfunction between the skull and jaw. This dysfunction can occur due to a number of different causes such as misaligned teeth, improper fillings, or stress.

CMD can cause a variety of symptoms including teeth grinding, headaches, back and neck pain, ringing in the ears, or pain in the face or neck. These symptoms can vary in severity and last for different lengths of time, but in any case, they can be very uncomfortable and painful.

To effectively treat craniomandibular dysfunction, it's important to be aware of potential symptoms early and see a dentist. A dentist can perform a thorough diagnosis to determine the causes of your CMD and create a treatment plan based on your individual needs. With timely diagnosis and treatment, CMD can be successfully treated and you can chew again without pain and with pleasure.

The diagnosis of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) is an important step to ensure successful treatment. Thorough functional diagnostics are crucial to identify the causes of CMD and plan individualized treatment.

It begins with a detailed conversation with the patient, during which his or her complaints and symptoms are discussed. This is followed by manual functional diagnostics, in which the dentist manually palpates the masticatory apparatus to identify possible malpositions or tensions.

To enable even more precise diagnostics, instrumental functional diagnostics are then performed. This involves the use of special digital equipment to accurately record and measure the position of the temporomandibular joint and the movements of the lower jaw. These measurements make it possible to identify the causes of CMD and to plan a precisely fitting treatment.

In summary, the diagnosis of CMD is an important component of successful treatment. Through a thorough functional diagnosis, a detailed understanding of the complaints can be obtained and an individual treatment can be planned.

The treatment of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) requires an individual approach, depending on the patient's causes and symptoms. Our dentists use the data from the functional analysis to develop a customized therapy. In many cases, this involves the use of special bite function splints that relieve pressure on the temporomandibular joint and masticatory system and bring the bite into the correct position.

For patients with acute pain, we also offer CMD pain therapy with special injections into the muscles. These help to relieve the pain in the long term. In some cases, it may also be necessary to work with other specialists or a physical therapist to ensure effective treatment.

Our goal is to provide each patient with CMD with comfortable, pain-free therapy tailored to their individual needs. We work closely with our patients to ensure they get the best possible results.
