Gnathology is the specialty that deals with examining the temporomandibular joint as well as the movements, position, and disorders of the jaw. Its purpose is to identify and treat abnormalities that affect the bite, dentition, or jaw function.
Common symptoms may include nighttime teeth grinding, joint pain, tinnitus, earache, jaw clicking, masticatory muscle inflammation, neck pain, headache, migraine, lockjaw, cervical tooth sensitivity, arm numbness, and sleep disturbances.
Even a deviation of just one-tenth of a millimeter can affect the jaw’s resting position, leading over time to constant clenching, grinding, muscle pain, and joint deformation. That is why precise gnathological measurement is critically important before any prosthetic restoration, filling, or treatment that alters the bite.
During the examination, we thoroughly analyze jaw movements and bite position, and—if necessary—assess the condition of the joint and dentition using specialized instruments and digital devices. Based on the results, we develop a personalized treatment plan.
Anyone experiencing jaw joint discomfort, headaches, neck pain, or teeth grinding, as well as those undergoing significant bite changes, prosthetic restorations, or orthodontic treatment.
