TMJ arthrosis caused by dentures
Some patients complain saying, "I cannot open my mouth wide", or "There is pain in the joints around my jaw". Upon further examination the number of middle-aged patients who complain of the following symptoms is increasing:
+ "I have stiff shoulders."
+ "My back aches."
+ "I have lost sensation in my arms and legs."
+ "There is ringing in my ears."
+ "I get terrible migraines."
These are all symptoms of TMJ arthrosis.
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. TMJ arthrosis is considered an ailment common in people in their 20s and 30s due to bad tooth alignment, or an unbalanced bite caused by wisdom teeth.
However, cases of TMJ arthrosis in middle-aged patients are mostly attributed to poor bite alignment due to silver crowns and especially dentures.
If you wear dentures and suffer from any of the symptoms listed above, please contact us for consultation. We can fix your bite alignment and help alleviate your discomfort.
