In optimal condition, the upper and lower teeth line up evenly. Then the chewing muscles, teeth, and joints are in harmony. If this system is compromised, there is a risk of the entire body's statics becoming unbalanced. A severe overbite can lead to a forward head position, which could, for example, alter the position of the cervical spine and block the pelvic area. This could even result in a discrepancy in leg length.

Other impairments such as headaches, knee pain, or shoulder-arm syndrome can also be associated with TMD. The clinical symptoms or complaints can occur near the joint (directly around the jaw) or away from the joint (in other parts of the body). Doctors can usually quickly identify complaints near the joint, such as restricted movement, clicking, and pain in the jaw joints.

Distal joint pain, on the other hand, can manifest as other symptoms such as chronic neck pain, headaches, facial pain, tinnitus, or other disorders that are not clearly identifiable. Often, the symptoms are not immediately associated with the disease. Neurophysiological diagnostics therefore play an important role in the diagnosis of CMD.

Efficient therapy

The team led by Dr. A. Amir Sayfadini and Dr. Sh. A. Balouch ensures that patients from Celle receive effective treatment.

At our Dr. Amir CMD Center, we first determine whether a physiological cause is causing the symptoms. If so, we usually use our splint therapy.

Additional electrical stimulation can also alleviate any existing muscular pain.

Throughout the entire course of treatment, you will always receive competent, interdisciplinary care from our interdisciplinary team of experts.
