CMD Therapy at Zahnzentrum Kronberg
Identifying the Cause of Your Symptoms – Digitally and Completely Pain-Free
CMD is diagnosed when the upper and lower jaws do not align correctly. This misalignment can affect the entire body and lead to persistent pain and discomfort.
What Is CMD?
Typical signs of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) include facial tension, ear pain, joint and spinal problems, as well as snoring, teeth grinding (bruxism), and sleep disturbances. The periodontal structures may also be affected. CMD can have far-reaching effects on the entire body.
In Germany, approximately 15 percent of adults are affected by CMD.
The strongest muscle – under the greatest strain
The jaw muscle is not the largest muscle in the body, but it is by far the strongest. We often underestimate the force generated when the upper and lower jaws meet during chewing. Even a deviation of just one millimeter from the ideal bite position can cause significant problems that may intensify over time. This is due to the immense forces being transmitted to the wrong points as a result of jaw or tooth misalignment, which can radiate throughout the entire body.
A holistic analysis
Are you experiencing one or more of the symptoms mentioned above, or do you suspect CMD? Your specialist at Zahnzentrum Kronberg will take the time to thoroughly examine you and develop an appropriate treatment approach.
A functional analysis is completely pain-free and takes only a few minutes. We use advanced digital technologies, to precisely assess the anatomical conditions of your jaw and accurately analyze the interaction between teeth, jawbone, and musculature.

Possible treatment methods
Holistic Therapy – Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Because CMD can involve a wide range of symptoms and associated conditions, collaboration with other healthcare professionals may be necessary. Our CMD specialists coordinate closely with physicians and specialists from other disciplines to ensure a comprehensive, holistic treatment approach. If you are also affected by conditions such as rheumatism, osteoarthritis, or arthritis, a rheumatologist may be involved as part of an effective treatment strategy.
Please note that not all of the symptoms mentioned are necessarily caused by CMD; other underlying conditions may also be present.
The earlier the diagnosis, the better the chances of recovery
Your CMD specialist in Kronberg has many years of experience in diagnosing and treating craniomandibular dysfunction and is highly familiar with current therapeutic approaches. The earlier CMD is diagnosed in our practice , the better the prospects for effective symptom relief. CMD caused by improper chewing habits or teeth grinding, in particular, can often be treated more successfully in the early stages, before these patterns become deeply ingrained. In most cases, treatment does not require surgery. However, triggers such as poorly fitting dentures or incorrectly adjusted fillings may need to be corrected to achieve long-term relief.
