Osteopath + dentist
Tandem of a dentist and an osteopath
Another interesting development in dental practice is the tandem of a dentist and an osteopath.
We recently had a case: a patient in her early 40s came in and asked to remove all her dental crowns and dentures and replace them with new ones, but on the condition that the new ones would be made taking into account all her temporomandibular joint problems. features. It turned out that this woman had back pain and she went to an osteopath, who discovered this, at first glance, strange connection: incorrectly designed crowns and back pain! His advice was to immediately remove all the crowns and correct the bite and jaw dysfunction, and then he would finally be able to help correct the back muscles and vertebrae.
And it can also be the other way around: in order to correct your bite, you first need to visit an osteopath to, first of all, correct the general position of your entire body, spine, and joints, and then correct your bite.
And now, dentists are increasingly involving osteopaths in their work. Understanding the integrity of the body does not allow us to approach the treatment of dental problems in isolation..
Dentist-gnathologist
The body's ability to compensate for such defects ultimately leads to a change in the balance in the muscular-fascial structures of the entire body. This can lead to the formation of an incorrect bite, pathological abrasion of tooth enamel, violation of the evenness of the dental arch, bruxism and the development of temporomandibular joint dysfunctions.
In dentistry, there is a very important specialization of a dentist: a gnathologist, who also deals with determining the cause of dental pathology and dysfunction of the jaws and joints. A gnathologist dentist helps to correctly design dentures to eliminate many dental pathologies.
At the Artix Dental Center, the close cooperation of all specialist doctors allows our patients to get rid of many long-term problems, and not only in the maxillofacial area of the body.
Here is just a small list of dental problems that can be solved in collaboration with an osteopath:
- eliminate pain, movement restrictions and clicking in the temporomandibular joint after prosthetics;
- restore mobility of the skull bones when opening the mouth is problematic;
- promote the treatment of bruxism;
- to correct the jaw joints before braces are placed
- Doctors at the Artix Dental Center successfully collaborate with osteopaths and a dentist-gnathologist to achieve quick and positive results in the treatment of our patients with various pathologies.
