[Edinburgh, January 26, 2016] - Edinburgh Dental Specialists, a practice specialising in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, offers solutions for patients suffering from temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and other jaw problems. Their specialists use the latest equipment and techniques to address malocclusion, which causes problems to the teeth and gums.

Comprehensive Treatment for Patients

The practice defines TMJ disorders as misalignment of teeth, resulting in facial pain, headaches and discomfort when chewing or biting. According to Edinburgh Dental Specialist, patients who recognise the symptoms or experience these on a daily basis must consult with an experienced specialist.

The practice’s Kevin Lochhead and Martin Paley, specialists in Prosthodontics and maxillofacial surgery accordingly, use their years of experience to assist patients. Their treatments include taking impressions of the teeth for the creation of a customised plastic appliance. The device places the teeth in a relaxed position, which prevents grinding and reduces the pressure off the patient’s TMJ.

Depending on the severity of the case, they may also recommend orthodontic treatment or maxillofacial surgery. Other solutions include adjustment of ill-fitted bridgework or replacement of missing teeth.
