Diagnosis of Temporomandibular Joint Diseases (TMJ)
Condylography
This diagnostic imaging method captures the movement of the jawbone’s condyles at the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). It assesses the pattern, direction, and range of jaw movements, providing detailed information about joint mechanics and abnormalities. This aids in diagnosing and planning treatment for temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Cephalometric Analysis
This diagnostic technique in orthodontics and prosthodontics analyzes head lateral X-rays to evaluate the relationship between the skeleton and teeth. It provides detailed insights into facial growth and alignment, aiding in accurate treatment plans. This method assists with diagnosis, treatment planning, and tracking changes over time.
Articulator and Variator Usage
Working with the articulator and variator involves simulating jaw movements to diagnose occlusal issues, plan treatments, and customize dental procedures with high precision and accuracy.
Splint Therapy
Splint therapy for TMJ uses custom dental appliances to ease jaw pain, reduce clenching and grinding, and improve alignment. This treatment promotes healing and relieves temporomandibular disorder symptoms. We craft splints based on data from functional diagnostics, including condylography, cephalometric analysis, and other methods.
DSD Planning
DSD(Digital Smile Design) planning for TMJ uses digital technology to analyze facial and dental structures, aiding precise diagnosis and treatment. It designs customized strategies for optimal TMJ function and aesthetics.
Conceptual Virtual Simulation and Wax Modeling
Conceptual virtual simulation and wax modeling for TMJ use advanced technology to replicate jaw movements and joint function, aiding in precise treatment planning and optimization. This approach helps create both aesthetic and functional smiles by shaping teeth based on detailed analysis from functional diagnostics.
Non-prep Techniques
Non-prep techniques for TMJ issues often include conservative methods such as lifestyle adjustments, physical therapy, and stress management aimed to alleviate symptoms and improve jaw function without altering the natural tooth structure. However, some cases may require specialized intervention. Combining lifestyle changes with expert guidance from a TMJ specialist often yields the best results for those with TMJ disorders.
Digital and Navigation Technologies
Digital and navigation technologies utilize advanced imaging and computer-assisted systems to analyze joint dynamics, aiding in precise diagnosis and treatment planning for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Transcutaneous Neurostimulation(TENS)
It utilizes transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to alleviate pain and relax muscles in the temporomandibular joint area, providing non-invasive relief from TMJ-related discomfort and tension.
Somfit (Home Sleep Study)
Somfit is a lightweight, wearable home sleep study device designed to collect physiological data that can assist dental and medical professionals in evaluating sleep disorders. Developed by Compumedics in Australia, it prioritizes patient comfort and ease of use while capturing high-quality, medical-grade signals to support the clinician’s diagnostic assessment.
T-Scan
T-Scan is a digital occlusal analysis system that provides real-time data on bite force, contact timing, and pressure distribution within the mouth. Used specially by Neuromuscular dentists to identify, analyze, and treat bites problems, this technology helps prevent tooth damage, jaw pain and guide for treatment decisions.
J5 Dental TENS Unit
The J5 Dental TENS Unit is a specialized muscle stimulator focused on muscle relaxation and pain relief via Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in a clinical setting. It is the only true simultaneous 4 channel bi-lateral stimulator of its kind. A valuable technology in office procedures for occlusal adjustment and in bite registration, it is also useful in the treatment of some types of TMD dysfunction and associated pain.
K7 System by Myotronics
With the K7 System we can provide more accurate treatment for the treatment of TMJ disorder. This innovative tool uses electromyography and joint sonography to determine jaw and muscle position. The Neuromuscular dentistry provide a tailored treatment to your specific physiology and health needs.
M-Scan
M-Scan is specifically designed to record craniofacial muscle activity during function and resting. This information is invaluable for optimum dental results and creating beautiful dentistry that works with the patient’s unique physiology. M-Scan incorporates an intuitive display that is extremely fast and easy to interpret compared to conventional electromyography that must be connected to a computer allowing the clinician to compare bilateral muscles quickly and easily for symmetry of function. The M-Scan shows the microvolt levels for each muscle contraction and the different between the left and right sides.
DNA Appliance
The DNA appliance is custom made removable appliance used in airway focused dentistry to promote natural jaw development and improve airway function. It is part of the functional dentistry approach. The DNA appliance consists of an upper and/or lower customized tray. Each device is customized with one or more adjustment mechanisms that enable the device to cause the desired tooth repositioning or jaw alignment for each patient. In general, DNA appliances can be worn in the mouth for several hours during the day and while sleeping at night.
Vivos Starter
The Vivos Starter is an early childhood appliance designed for very young patients, typically around 2–4 years old. It helps children breathe properly through their nose by guiding the growth and development of the jaws and oral structures. It promotes correct tongue posture and encourages proper jaw and facial development. The Vivos Starter is an airway training device focused on supporting healthy oral and airway development from an early age.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Как навсегда вылечить ВНЧС?
Правильная диагностика причины нарушения функции ВНЧС является первым шагом на пути к его устойчивому лечению. Некоторые виды заболеваний челюстных суставов легко поддаются лечению, тогда как другие могут создавать больше сложностей.
В конечном итоге это будет зависеть от основных действующих факторов (например, износ суставов или смещение зубов). -
К какому типу относится височно-нижнечелюстной сустав?
Височно-нижнечелюстной сустав уникален тем, что нижняя челюсть имеет суставы с обеих сторон, из-за чего один влияет на другой. Каждый ВНЧС имеет соединение шарнирного типа, подобное тому, которое присутствует в тазобедренном суставе.
Такая конструкция позволяет ВНЧС двигаться вверх и вниз, из стороны в сторону и в различных направлениях. Это необходимо для полного пережевывания пищи при ее подготовке к процессу пищеварения.
