Gnathology
Gnathology: The Solution for Mandibular and Cervical Pain
Have you ever woken up in the morning with pain in your jaw or neck? Have you ever experienced discomfort when biting or noticed difficulty opening or closing your mouth? These symptoms could be indicative of problems related to your occlusion and may require the intervention of a gnathology expert. Find out how gnathology can be the key to resolving your jaw and neck pain, improving your quality of life and general well-being.
What is gnathology?
Gnathology is a branch of dentistry that deals with the study and treatment of disorders related to the chewing and occlusion of teeth. Simply put, the gnathologist is the doctor who specialises in understanding how your teeth move and meet when you bite, and how this interaction affects the health and well-being of your mouth and posture.
How does gnathology work?
Imagine your teeth as the gears of a clock: when they are aligned correctly, everything works in harmony. However, if one of the gears is out of place, it can cause a ripple effect of problems. The same happens with the teeth and the jaw. An error in occlusion can cause tension and stress and, over time, lead to jaw pain, headaches, posture problems and even sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea.
What are gnathological treatments?
Gnathological treatment is customised to your specific needs and can include various therapies, including:
Occlusal habitation
Use of night-time protective devices to reduce stress on the jaw muscles during sleep.
Dental realignment
Correction of occlusion problems through the use of orthodontic appliances or dental restorations.
Physical therapy
Targeted exercises to relax the jaw muscles and improve jaw mobility.
Medicine therapy
Use of medicine to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Prima e Dopo – Casi di Protesi Dentali
Quali sono i risultati di un trattamento di protesi dentali su denti naturali di Alfa Studio Dentistico?
Ecco alcuni casi del “Prima e Dopo” dei nostri pazienti in una fase intermedia del trattamento.
Nel primo caso si tratta di una fase intermedia di protesi fissa su denti naturali. In una sola seduta è stata sostituita una vecchia protesi con un provvisorio in resina migliore esteticamente, utilizzando una nuova tecnica che migliora lo stato delle gengive. Questa fase provvisoria precede la protesi fissa definitiva in ceramica.
Nel secondo caso il risultato del trattamento intermedio è un provvisorio prima della ricostruzione diretta in composito (“DOPO”). Una vera trasformazione del sorriso, dei denti e delle gengive prima della finalizzazione.
La Dott.ssa Alessandra Pinna saprà consigliarti la protesi più adatta al tuo caso con un piano di cura personalizzato.
