Sometimes you hear clicking or skipping<\/strong> when you open your mouth, chew or yawn? Maybe your jaw sometimes \"locks\", making it difficult to open your mouth? Although many ignore these symptoms, they can be early signs of temporomandibular disorders (TMD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n TMP includes problems in the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull<\/strong>, as well as in the surrounding muscles and ligaments. The joint is extremely complex, and disorders in its functioning can cause pain, noises, limited mouth opening, and even neck pain, earaches, and headaches.<\/p>\n Clicking, cracking or skipping in the wrist<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pain in the wrist, cheek or ear area<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Difficulty opening or closing the mouth<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fatigue and tension in the masticatory muscles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n It doesn't necessarily mean you have a serious problem, but constant or frequent sounds, especially if accompanied by pain or discomfort, deserve the attention of a specialist<\/strong>. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent worsening of the condition and complications that often require long-term therapy.<\/p>\n The first step is professional diagnostics<\/strong>, which at the Demirovi\u0107 office includes a detailed clinical examination, functional analysis of the joint, as well as 2D scans of the temporomandibular joint. After that, an individual treatment plan is created that may include occlusal splints, myofunctional exercises, or orthodontic therapy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zvukovi u vili\u010dnom zglobu \u2013 bezazleni ili znak upozorenja?
