Jaw joint tension

Do you suffer from pain in your jaw joint, face or neck? Do you often feel tired and tense in the morning? You may be suffering from jaw joint tension caused by grinding your teeth at night. Dr. Lehmann's dental practice in Zurich specializes in the treatment of jaw joint tension and offers effective solutions to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Symptoms of jaw joint tension

Jaw joint tension can manifest itself through various symptoms. Here are the most common signs to look out for:

1. Pain in the jaw joint: Dull, pulling or stabbing pain in the area of the jaw joint or the surrounding muscles, which can spread to the face, temple, ear or neck.

2. Jaw joint noises: A clicking, grinding, or grinding sound when opening or closing the mouth that can be heard by others.

3. Restricted jaw movement: Difficulty opening the mouth wide or chewing due to limited jaw movement.

4. Muscle tension: Soreness, tightness or stiffness in the muscles of the jaw, face or neck.

5. Head and facial pain: tension headaches or migraine-like headaches and facial pain, especially in the cheeks or temples.

Nighttime teeth grinding and tension

Nighttime teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can be one of the main causes of jaw tension. When you grind your teeth, you press and rub your upper and lower jaws together, which can lead to muscle tension and pain. This unconscious behavior often occurs during sleep and can have a negative impact on your quality of life.

Treatment with night guards

To prevent nighttime teeth grinding and the associated tension, the Dr. Lehmann dental practice offers you an effective solution: individually adapted night guards. These special guards are made of high-quality material and are comfortable to wear. They act as a protective shield between your teeth and prevent them from pressing together and rubbing. This relieves the strain on your chewing muscles and reduces pain.
