Treatment of dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint should be comprehensive, taking into account the etiology, pathogenesis, stage of the disease, individual characteristics of its course and the condition of the patient.
One of the important elements in the treatment of TMJ diseases is a functional relaxation technique. We will put you in a special room and glue impulses to your face and neck to help you relax. You will rest for 1.5 hours or until your muscles are completely relaxed. We need this in order to find your correct bite and order your personal device. This device looks like a kappa made of very durable material. This will help you to constantly keep your jaw relaxed and allow you to get rid of pain.
