Jaw clicking, popping, grinding, and the pain resulting from these are very common and extremely complex dental problems affecting many people.
If you have this type of problem, there is no need to worry, your problem is not unique and there is a solution to alleviate it, and even to eliminate your pain forever.
What Causes Jaw Joint Wear?
- The biting surface of the teeth does not fit properly and maintains the jaw joint in an incorrect position even when at rest and closed.
- During chewing, the joint can receive a disharmonious load, for example, in case of missing teeth, when chewing unilaterally.
- Many people grind their teeth day and night, even while sleeping, which also causes constant tension in the jaw joint.
- A common consequence of our increasingly stressful lifestyles is intense teeth grinding, neurologically driven, which puts strain on the teeth, wears down tooth surfaces, can cause misalignment, and stresses and tenses the jaw joint.
The average person uses their jaw joint 10,000-15,000 times a day, often more times than their legs or knee joints. If, for some reason, the joint receives a tension load, this is repeated 10,000-15,000 times a day, increasingly consuming and damaging the normal joint tissue.
If it runs out or wears down, pain will set in, which, in the absence of care, can escalate to the point of being unbearable, turning every word, bite, and even peaceful sleep into hell.
Which method can be used to reduce pain?
The problem can be resolved if it is detected in good time and treated with sufficient professionalism. The jaw joint can be gently and carefully guided back to its resting, comfortable state, where it can regenerate.
In our practice, we use a therapeutic splint developed by Prof. Lawrence F. Andrews, which has already yielded excellent healing results many millions of times. This splint helps to guide the jaw joint into its resting position, eliminates pain, teeth grinding, and further chipping of tooth necks and chewing surfaces.
At the end of our treatments, your jaw joint will also be repositioned. We will then ensure that your teeth fit perfectly in this new, balanced, tension-free position, fully satisfying their masticatory and aesthetic functions.
