A healthy bite is far more than just “teeth meeting”. The position and function of the temporomandibular joint affect the whole body — from chewing and speaking through to posture and wellbeing. That is why, at our private dental practice in Wuppertal, we use state-of-the-art technology to analyse function and occlusion (the interplay of the dental arches and the jaw movements) precisely and to treat each case individually.

Why Gamma?

For more than 30 years, Gamma has been a pioneer in instrument-based support for function and occlusion. The company develops high-quality medical devices and software that help dentists and dental technicians to understand the complex interplay of the masticatory system and to treat it in a targeted way. This is not only about the static bite position, but about the dynamic movements of the lower jaw in interaction with the structures of the entire masticatory apparatus.

For our patients this means the highest quality, precision and safety in diagnosis and treatment.

Unique expertise with the Gamma Condylograph

Our particular strength — and almost unique in Germany as well as in the Netherlands — is the use of the Condylograph Gamma. This highly precise device opens up entirely new possibilities in the diagnosis and treatment of:

  • temporomandibular joint problems
  • neck and back complaints
  • chronic headaches
  • migraine

This allows us to help patients who elsewhere often search for a solution for years without success.

Digital workflows without compromise

While a fully digital workflow often does without physical models and thus makes a functional final check more difficult, Gamma offers intelligent solutions such as the Reference Print&Click Set. It allows 3D-printed dental models to be transferred into the articulator exactly — for reliable verification and planning.

CADIAX® 4 — high-end for the highest demands

One highlight in our practice is the use of CADIAX® 4, the high-end device of the CADIAX series for clinical instrument-based functional diagnostics.
This system makes it possible to:

  • record all lower-jaw movements close to the joint on the individual hinge axis
  • analyse all degrees of freedom precisely (translation and rotation)
  • measure the condylar position electronically, directly on the patient
  • display the kinematic axis on screen in real time
  • transfer the real data directly into the virtual articulator — for realistic movement simulation without compromise

Thanks to the many evaluation options, the data can be used both for treatment planning and to explain the findings clearly to patients.

Your benefit as a patient

For you as a patient, Gamma-supported diagnostics means:

  • early detection of functional disorders in the temporomandibular joint
  • individually tailored therapies instead of one-size-fits-all
  • relief from complaints such as jaw, neck or back pain, headaches and migraine
  • more comfort and safety with dentures, splint therapy and aesthetic restorations
  • clear visualisation of the results — so that you can follow your own treatment
