Inaba Dental Clinic Establishes an Emergency Dentures Consultation Window Especially for People Ages 50 - 79
- Cases of dentures causing stiff shoulders, ringing in the ears, and migraines are on the rise. Please see us for a free consultation -

Inaba Dental Clinic (location: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; director: Yukiko Inaba) has experienced an increase in patients in their 50s, 60s, and 70s with the following symptoms: "I cannot open my jaw widely", "The joints in my jaw hurt", and upon follow up questioning many have said, "My neck hurts", "I have stiff shoulders", "My back hurts", My hands and legs go numb", "My ears are ringing", "I get bad migraines". Therefore we have opened up an emergency consultation window accessible for free through mail for patients with such symptoms.

TMJ arthrosis is a condition in which the area around the jaw hurts, opening the mouth becomes difficult, and a clicking or scraping noise can be heard coming from the jawline area. Conventionally it is considered an ailment common in people in their 20s and 30s but in recent years the number of patients in their 50s and 60s suffering from TMJ arthrosis has been increasing quickly.

As opposed to younger patients who suffer from TMJ arthrosis due to silver crown treatment covered by health insurance or due to unbalanced bite alignment caused by wisdom teeth, the main cause of TMJ arthrosis in people in their 50s and 60s is unbalanced bite alignment caused by dentures.
In order to adjust the balance of one's bite alignment, the upper and lower dental mold must be centered symmetrical down the center of the body. If this does not occur naturally then it is important to wear dentures made to supplement this balance. These dentures can be made by taking measurements using bite alignment equipment. Conventional dentures covered by health insurance are often unable to meet these acute specifications and it has often been observed that continuing to eat with such dentures only serves to worsen the problem.

Here at Inaba Dental Clinic we are able to accurately create a bilateral symmetrical plane with 'Riegel telescope'*1, the world's most leading dental technology originating in Germany. With this technology we can provide the most effective treatment available for patients suffering from TMJ arthrosis. After treatment patients experience the same plane symmetry from when they still had all of their teeth, even though they are wearing dentures. Pain in the jaw joints is relieved and accompanying symptoms such as stiff shoulders and ringing in the ears improve over time.

At Inaba Dental Clinic we continue to provide the best treatment to protect our patients' precious smiles.

+What is 'Riegel telescope'*1?
They are the most popular form of inlay dentures in Germany, the most advanced country in denture technology. Putting in and taking out dentures is done using a lever-based opening and closing mechanism. Since they rely on mechanical support equipment, they can be used for many years.
