It is located under the ear and allows the opening, closing, and lateral movements of the mouth, which are also functional for chewing. \n\nTMJ pathologies can be of various natures; biomechanical issues (articular click, compression or articular blockage, incoordination of the condylar disc) can often be resolved or attenuated through the use of custom-made devices, such as Myorelaxant Splints (MRS).\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8254d12 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8254d12\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-180fcc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"180fcc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1-1024x471.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4099\" alt=\"Diagrama anat\u00f3mico de la articulaci\u00f3n temporomandibular (ATM) utilizado para explicar la terapia oclusal.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1-1024x471.webp 1024w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1-300x138.webp 300w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1-768x353.webp 768w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1-1536x706.webp 1536w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/38-2-1.webp 1719w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1970d6e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1970d6e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e9d45a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9e9d45a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/39-2-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4100\" alt=\"Paciente utilizando f\u00e9rula de descarga oclusal transparente para el tratamiento de bruxismo en Vdent.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/39-2-1.webp 500w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/39-2-1-300x210.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8baa72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b8baa72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/40-2-1-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4101\" alt=\"Doctor de Vdent se\u00f1alando hallazgos en una radiograf\u00eda panor\u00e1mica digital para diagn\u00f3stico de terapia oclusal.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/40-2-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/40-2-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/40-2-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/vdent.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/40-2-1.webp 1165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8f04ae e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f8f04ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae3a2b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae3a2b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At Vdent, we have a specialist, <strong>Dr. Gustavo Huertas,<\/strong> who performs gnathological therapy, which consists of restoring normal relationships between the mandibular condyle, the articular disc, and the glenoid fossa. This mainly involves the use of resin and metal products (bite splints) that reposition the mandible and, at the same time, produce muscle relaxation of the masticatory muscles and all other muscles involved. Once the contractures have been eliminated, therapy proceeds to stabilize the results, which may include occlusal correction by addition, subtraction, or modification using aids ranging from simple selective grinding to eliminating interferences (sometimes caused by poorly placed restorations), to restoring correct heights using resins, onlays, crowns, or prostheses; finally, dental positions can be modified through orthodontics.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":4099,"template":"","class_list":["post-4098","tratamientos","type-tratamientos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos\/4098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tratamientos"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos\/4098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4103,"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tratamientos\/4098\/revisions\/4103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdent.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
