When you see your doctor for a diagnosis, one of the first things you want to know is how he or she is going to make that diagnosis. What kinds of tests will be needed? Will be they invasive or uncomfortable? And just as important, will they be trustworthy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Michel Dental<\/a> in Topeka<\/strong>, Dr. Michael Michel<\/a> uses joint vibration analysis<\/a> to diagnose cases of TMJ disorder<\/strong>. Of all the way that TMJ disorder<\/strong> can be diagnosed, joint vibration analysis<\/strong> is one of the most comfortable and trustworthy, in addition to be non-invasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how joint vibration analysis<\/strong> works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you come to our Topeka<\/strong> office, Dr. Michel<\/strong> will slip something that looks like a pair of headphones over your head. They\u2019re not headphones, of course\u2014they\u2019re actually sensors, and we\u2019ll use them to measure how well your temporomadibular joints are functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n By listening for friction between the bones and cartilage of your joints. As you open and close your mouth, these sensors will be listening for anything out of the ordinary that might indicate a problem. Once we\u2019ve collected all the data we need, Dr. Michel<\/strong> can scrutinize it more closely and continue to screen you if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In all, joint vibration analysis<\/strong> takes only a few seconds to complete and has proven to be an effective means of screening and diagnosing patients. If you\u2019re concerned that you might have a TMJ disorder<\/strong>, call<\/a> Michel Dental<\/strong> today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Michel<\/strong>. We serve patients from Topeka, Emporia, Lawrence, Manhattan, and surrounding areas<\/strong>.
