Dr. Brown's recent blog post sheds light on the often-overlooked repercussions of extracted or missing teeth. Initially, tooth loss may seem insignificant, but its long-term effects can be quite substantial. Many individuals often underestimate the impact missing teeth have on their overall oral health. Over time, the absence of teeth can cause the jaw's structural integrity to deteriorate. This deterioration can lead to a shift in the condyle within the jaw socket, potentially displacing the protective articular discs. Such structural changes can trigger TMJ disorders and may even contribute to sleep-disordered breathing. It's essential to address tooth loss promptly to avoid these potential complications.

Dr. Brown's recent blog post provides valuable insights into the significant problem of condylar erosion. This is a vital subject that underscores the importance of dental professionals carefully observing the condyles. These are the upper parts of the jawbone, essential for joint movement. The blog post also explores the connection between condylar erosion and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), a common concern. A major contributing factor is the displacement of the articular disc, which should ideally sit on top of the condyle. When the disc is out of place, patients might experience bone-on-bone friction during jaw movements. The disc's main role is to safeguard the condyle within the joint. Discover more about this condition and its potential effects on your oral health.

In a recent blog post, Dr. Brown explores a specific method for resolving temporomandibular disorder. This method focuses on the orthodontic eruption of the posterior teeth, a refined dental procedure. This specialized technique carefully guides the teeth into their optimal positions, thereby eliminating the need for further appliance therapy and supporting the correct anatomic position with no TMD symptoms. The process involves precise control over tooth movement in three critical areas: height, alignment, and spacing. This detailed approach aims to enhance both the aesthetic appeal of the smile and improve the overall function of the jaw and disc health. Read more about this innovative treatment on his blog.
