Gnathologist dentist in Milan: the importance of a professional for a thorough gnathological examination
Gnathological assessment and treatment are an integral part of our team of experts: the gnathologist dentist at our Milan practice uses numerous diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to address our patients’ temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and dental occlusion problems.
This medical specialty focuses on the proper relationship between the mandible, skull, and cervical spine, ensuring optimal chewing function and reducing painful or bothersome symptoms.
A very sensitive area, therefore, where the difference is made by the specialist you rely on. As a crucial medical discipline, gnathology addresses a variety of disorders related to the temporomandibular joint and dental occlusion.
With an accurate diagnosis and professional, personalized treatment, our specialists’ gnathological therapy can provide significant pain relief and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from these conditions.
The gnathological bite in gnathological therapy
The gnathological bite is a fundamental therapeutic tool in gnathology. This is a custom-made device made by our dentists in Milan that is placed between the patient’s teeth to correct occlusion and reduce stress on the temporomandibular joint.
The gnathological bite helps restore a correct relationship between the mandible and the maxilla, alleviating symptoms such as headaches, back pain, neck pain, facial pain and difficulty chewing.
Headaches and temporomandibular joint pain: how gnathology can help
Not everyone is aware of this: chronic headaches and temporomandibular joint pain could be caused by an incorrect bite or joint misalignment.
For this reason, thanks to our gnathologists in Milan, it is possible to perform an initial examination to assess the presence of these conditions and intervene to restore the patient’s well-being.
Incorrect occlusion or joint misalignment can cause tension in the facial and cervical muscles.
Our gnathological therapy experts work with professionalism and meticulousness to correct these abnormalities, providing symptom relief and improving chewing function.
Tinnitus: Finding relief from symptoms with gnathology
Several studies have now demonstrated how temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can contribute to the onset or worsening of tinnitus, a bothersome condition characterized by a constant or intermittent ringing in the ear.
For this reason, a gnathologist is the ideal specialist to evaluate and treat such dysfunctions, providing our patients with the relief they deserve.
Botulinum toxin: Botox in gnathology
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, can also be used in the field of gnathology to treat certain conditions related to the masticatory system.
An example? Our gnathologist dentists inject it into the chewing muscles to reduce muscle hyperactivity and relieve associated symptoms, such as pain and muscle tension.
This minimally invasive treatment can offer temporary relief from some of the painful conditions associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, providing our patients with greater comfort and function in the orofacial area.
