Your patients with chronic, changing pain for which no medical explanation can be found
Do you look after patients with unclear, treatment-resistant complaints in whom the jaw system could play a role? That is our specialisation – and we see ourselves as a complement to your work, not as competition.
Where your specialty borders on the jaw system
Each specialty has its own page. Each sets out what has been demonstrated by measurement, where the data end, and when a referral is useful. Meant as a complement to your work, not as a judgement.
Your specialty is not listed? Get in touch – we will be glad to place your case in context.
Children and adolescents have their own section: migraine-like headaches, mouth breathing, concentration and attention disorders, posture or growth abnormalities – to the children's section.
How we handle the evidence – before you read on. We place ourselves within the recognised framework: CMD is considered multifactorial and biopsychosocial, and first-line treatment is conservative and non-invasive. That is exactly how we work.
There is a sound basis for the connection between the jaw system and the head, face and cervical region; cervical co-treatment is professional standard. For the link to spinal, pelvic and foot posture and for otological symptoms, on the other hand, the data are inconsistent. Where a statement on the specialty pages reflects our clinical explanatory model rather than proven causality, this is stated there under “Where the evidence ends”. We would rather mark this ourselves than leave it for you to check.
And something obvious that we write down anyway: with red flags and unclear findings, the specialist work-up comes before any functional diagnostics. The CMD perspective is complementary, not a substitute – we do not call any of your diagnoses into question and do not disparage any procedure.
A clear division of roles: we treat exclusively CMD-related functional disorders – no general dentistry and no competing orthodontics. Your patients remain yours; we take over the functional part and refer back.
Focused
Exclusively CMD, no general dentistry. That is why we can direct time and measurement technology at a single clinical picture.
Objective measurement
Function is measured, not assumed – EMG, bite forces, movement analyses, posture, manual structural analysis.
Sparing of tooth structure
We start with removable appliances. Nothing is altered on healthy tooth structure.
CMD System Check & CMD System Therapy
Our CMD System Check runs in two stages with an interim evaluation and records teeth, masticatory muscles, posture and spine with objective measurements: digital 3D scan, EMG muscle measurement (“ECG of the jaw”), electronic bite registration, and spine and foot pressure measurement – including a system analysis of the craniomandibular and cervical systems and a manual structural analysis. The starting point throughout remains the jaw system; we record posture and statics to see what arrives there. The treatment plan is drawn up from this.
Therapeutically we work with a removable, neuromuscular repositioning in the sense of CMD Systems Medicine, with psychological support. The process in detail →
How collaboration works
- a brief referral is enough (phone, e-mail or letter)
- a structured findings and progress report back to you
- interdisciplinary coordination with physiotherapy, osteopathy, ENT
- a clear referral back once the regulation is complete
Refer a patient
We take referrals by phone or e-mail. We contact your patient to arrange an appointment and refer back once treatment is complete.
Call us or write to us — we take down the referral details by phone and contact your patient. A call back is possible within one working day.
Want to discuss a case?
Call us or write to us – we will clarify without fuss whether a CMD assessment makes sense for your patient.
