In the event of frequent head, facial or jaw pain, an incorrect bite, abraded teeth or malfunctions of the temporomandibular joint, a careful examination of the temporomandibular joint, the joint capsule and the masticatory muscles is important.

Depending on the symptoms, physiotherapeutic or ostheopathic treatment together with a splint that is worn at night can be useful. If the teeth are badly worn, this is sometimes not sufficient and the missing tooth length is then functionally and aesthetically restored in order to permanently eliminate the symptoms.

Since the complaints of the chewing apparatus and causes of pain are so highly individual, good treatment can only be achieved with specially adapted splints.

We manufacture milled splints for patients, tailored to their individual symptoms, which are produced in a master laboratory. The basis for this can be conventional impressions or data records obtained by intraoral scanning.

It is essential to check the splint and the “grinding tracks” after 2 – 4 weeks of wearing and then regularly at your six-monthly dentist visit in order to achieve lasting success.
