Grinding and clenching at night put strain on teeth, muscles and the jaw joint. At Zahnlounge in Zürich-Enge we look at how everything works together and protect your teeth with a custom-made Michigan splint.
Functional diagnosticsCustom-made splintEnglish spoken
“I wake up with a tense jaw and a headache.”
“My partner hears me grinding at night.”
“My teeth are getting shorter, and the edges are chipping.”
“Neck, head, jaw: I have seen several people, and nobody finds a cause.”
This is exactly where functional diagnostics comes in.
Understand first, then protect.
We ask about your daily life and your symptoms and examine teeth, chewing muscles and jaw joint.
In functional diagnostics we look at how upper and lower jaw meet and where strain arises. You see what we see.
Your Michigan splint is made individually for you, based on a digital scan, without an impression. It is made of firm, transparent acrylic and is usually worn at night.
We fit the splint precisely and fine-tune it. At a follow-up we check how you are getting on with it.
A splint protects the teeth. The diagnostics beforehand make sure it suits you.
The interplay of teeth, muscles and jaw joint is one of the core fields of Dr. Dominika Kleinert-Baltsios.
A firm, precisely adjusted splint that protects your teeth and relieves the chewing muscles.
A digital scan captures your teeth in a few minutes. The splint is then made precisely on that basis.
