Klinik Emel is a dental clinic specializing in jaw joint treatment and offers a variety of services to its patients in providing healthy chewing function and a comfortable oral structure. Jaw joint treatment involves an approach used to diagnose, treat and manage jaw joint problems.
Jaw joint problems can affect chewing function, cause pain and restrict mouth opening and closing movements. The jaw joint treatment offered at Klinik Emel is planned with a personalized approach to help patients cope with such problems.
Jaw joint treatment is a medical approach used to diagnose, treat and manage problems in the joint known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or jaw joint, which provides chewing and mouth movements. This treatment can include a variety of conditions, also called jaw joint dysfunction (TMD), and targets pain, restricted mobility and other symptoms in the muscles, ligaments and bones around the jaw joint.
Jaw joint treatment can usually be conservative or surgical, and the treatment plan is determined depending on the patient’s symptoms, diagnosis and the severity of their condition. Conservative treatments may include rest, hot or cold applications, use of a mouthpiece, diet and lifestyle changes, exercises, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy. Surgical options may aim to correct the anatomy of the jaw joint or fix problematic tissues and may include arthroscopy, disc surgery, jaw repositioning and joint replacement.
TMJ therapy plays an important role in managing and treating the symptoms of jaw joint dysfunction (TMD). This treatment improves patients’ quality of life by reducing the pain, tension and discomfort they experience in their daily lives. It also improves jaw joint mobility and function, helping patients to perform basic activities such as chewing, speaking and opening the mouth more comfortably. Jaw joint treatment also has positive effects on dental health. In particular, in cases where jaw joint problems can cause tooth misalignment or misalignment of the jaw bones, this treatment helps to correct these problems and therefore contributes to maintaining a healthier oral environment. As a result, jaw joint treatment allows patients to live a more comfortable life by improving their quality of life, while at the same time reducing pain and improving jaw joint function.
