Stress is a leading contributor to many health conditions. It may cause you to grind your teeth. 70% of people clench and grind their teeth. This leads to a wearing away of the enamel; cracking of teeth; and ultimately, in many cases TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) Disorder or TMD (Temporo-Mandibular Disorder). It can become a very painful cycle.
By injecting mesenchymal stem cells, from the Wharton’s jelly of an umbilical cord into the joint cavity, the repair begins. These cells get introduced into the TMJ, so that the affected cells may tell these brand new cells, what they need; and proceed to regenerate the TMJ apparatus.
Our patients report reduction or complete relief of pain, as well as return of normal movement.
