Gnathologist in Irpin
Gnathology at Sorridi Clinic is a comprehensive approach to your dental health. We treat joint pain, jaw clicking, bruxism, and correct complex bite cases.
Gnathology is a field of dentistry that studies the interconnection between teeth, masticatory muscles, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). At Sorridi Dental Clinic in Irpin, we conduct a thorough jaw function diagnosis to find the true cause of discomfort. Gnathologist consultation is essential before prosthetics or orthodontic treatment to ensure a long-lasting result.
When should you see a gnathologist? If you notice clicking or crunching when opening your mouth, limited jaw mobility, headaches of unknown origin, or teeth grinding (bruxism). Gnathological treatment allows you to relieve muscle tension, restore proper joint function, and prevent tooth destruction.
At our clinic in Irpin, we use modern treatment methods: splint therapy (customized night guards), functional analysis, and selective grinding. We help patients restore chewing comfort and get rid of chronic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gnathology
Who is a gnathologist and how is it different from a regular dentist?
A gnathologist focuses on the work of the entire dentofacial system: joints, muscles, and teeth in complex, while a regular dentist often deals with individual teeth.
How long does splint therapy last?
The treatment period is individual and usually lasts from 3 to 6 months depending on the case complexity.
Does a gnathologist help with headaches?
Yes, very often the cause of chronic headaches is TMJ dysfunction or overstrain of masticatory muscles. A gnathologist can help eliminate this factor.
Is it painful to wear an occlusal splint?
No, the splint is made individually and does not cause pain. One usually gets used to it in a few days.
