TMJ Disorder Case Study: Case History
When we first examined Hannah (not her real name), we noticed her lower jaw deviated to the left. She had an issue with her bite near her canine teeth and we observed slight facial asymmetry with an unbalanced smile.
Treatment Plan:
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS):
- TENS is a pain relief method using a mild electrical current to contract and relax muscles, relieving tension and pain.
- Using precise equipment, we determined the optimal resting position for her jaw muscles.
After the TENS procedure, Hannah’s jaw naturally moved to a comfortable position without interference from her teeth. This guided us to the next phase of correction.
- Invisalign:
- We scanned her corrected bite for Invisalign aligners.
- With steady progress, her teeth started aligning as planned.
- After the first set of aligners, we saw noticeable improvements:
- The upper right teeth were more upright.
- The jaw returned to the right, aligning the midline.
- Better alignment of her teeth.
After the first round of treatment, there was a significant improvement in facial symmetry and her smile.
