Healthy teeth without any signs of cavities are important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for overall health and well-being. However, dentistry goes far beyond treating dental diseases. It also focuses on jaw function, bite alignment, and chewing muscles, as dysfunctions in these areas can lead to jaw joint pain, headaches, neck tension, or even back problems. Our practice relies on cutting-edge dental solutions to provide our patients with the best possible treatments. Zebris technology is a new and innovative method for precisely measuring jaw misalignments and tailoring therapies to each patient individually.
What is Zebris and What is it Used for?
Zebris is an advanced, computer-assisted measuring system that allows for the three-dimensional assessment and analysis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Precise sensors capture lower jaw movements with millimetre accuracy, enabling the detection of potential dysfunctions in the chewing apparatus. These data serve as the basis for individualized and targeted therapy.Examination Process with Zebris
- Medical History: We begin with a thorough consultation to record any complaints and symptoms.
- Measurement: During the functional analysis, the patient wears a lightweight measuring splint with integrated sensors that record jaw movements in real time.
- Data Analysis: The recorded data is analyzed using computer software and displayed graphically, allowing us to instantly identify misalignments or movement restrictions.
- Therapy Planning: Based on the analysis results, we develop a personalized therapy plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
Applications of Zebris Technology
- Diagnosis and treatment of Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD)—a functional disorder affecting the jaw joint and chewing muscles
- Support in the adjustment of bite splints
- Optimization of complex prosthetic restorations
- Control and fine-tuning of orthodontic treatments
Key Benefits at a Glance
