Soring is a wide spread phenomenon. Snoring can be troublesome and loud and is a disturbance to many. For some it is even a disease-causing sleep disorder (sleep apnoea), which may seriously endanger health.
Two splints (TAP-splints) can help in this case. They bring the lower jaw to a reliable and controlled position during sleep, and thereby open the rear air passage. Thus you or your partner can get a good nights sleep again. Dr. N. Schmidt-Rogge and both dental technicians are certified TAP-Partners.

Watch video (Low Quality)The Mandibular Joint The mandibular joint assumes a special position functionally, as its final position is determined by the position of the teeth.
Malfunction Through continual Malfunction, pains can result in the joint structure or the surrounding musculature. It may also lead to back or knee pain or the suffering of regular headaches.
Cooperation with an orthopaedic practice In such cases, we work closely with the neighbouring orthopaedic practice of Patrick Schoene in Berlin Mitte.
Individually made bite splints Individually made bite splints often give relief in this case. Complementary therapies may however also be necessary.
A fascinating approach established in the 1970s by Dr. med. Jochen Gleditsch. The physician discovered that body regions and organs are “reflected” in specific mucosal points in the oral cavity - and can be influenced through targeted stimulation to support healing.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, oral acupuncture does not use needles; instead, mucosal points are stimulated by injections of tiny amounts of an anaesthetic or saline solution. This treatment is based on the principle of the micro-acupuncture system (MAPS), according to which the oral cavity reflects the entire organism.
Several studies now support the effectiveness of oral acupuncture and its therapeutic effect on numerous symptom patterns. Oral acupuncture is a useful complement to conventional medicine and conventional therapy for functional complaints.
Oral acupuncture has been used successfully in our practice since 2014. Dr. Nicola Schmidt-Rogge holds the certificate “Structured Continuing Education in Acupuncture for Dentists (Oral Acupuncture)”.
Oral acupuncture can readily be combined with ear acupuncture and body acupuncture.
