Examination of the jaw joint

Focus on the jaw joint

Functional analysis

Teeth, jaw joints and muscles form a finely tuned system. If it gets out of balance, discomfort can arise throughout the body.

We regard the analysis of jaw movement as an important diagnostic tool for detecting and treating masked or existing functional disorders. Symptoms can range from mild tension to severely limiting jaw joint problems such as clicking noises, tinnitus and pain.

A network of specialists

Where needed we work with a network of specialists including dentists, physiotherapists and radiologists, so that you receive holistic care.

How braces can help

Braces can help here, either by guiding growth in the right direction or by relieving overloaded structures. Symptoms subside and patients regain quality of life.
