Each person uses it thousands of times a day, and its proper functioning is essential for quality of life.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"es-ES\">This joint functions as a sliding hinge, with an articular disc between the mandibular condyle (head of the jawbone) and the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone, which absorbs shock and allows for smooth movements in all directions: opening\/closing, forward\/backward, and side-to-side.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Innovation Medical Center is Romania's leading center in laser dentistry and temporomandibular joint therapy, featuring 2026-level technology, a specialized team, and an integrated medical approach for minimally invasive laser treatments.
