Abstract

This case is intended to present the effectiveness of TMJ balance therapy, which normalizes the yin-yang balance of the cranial nervous system, including the meridian system. Temporomandibular joint balance therapy was performed on growing children with occlusal abnormalities, and clinical results were measured through specific observation of height and weight. The patient showed improvement in deep bite and satisfactory increase in growth after treatment. From these observations, it can be inferred that temporomandibular joint balance therapy has a positive effect not only on the brain nervous system but also on the action of pituitary hormones. For a more accurate evaluation, clinical and biological research on temporomandibular joint balance therapy (TBT) is needed.

본 증례에서는 부정교합과 척추측만을 가진 어린이 환자에게 한의학적 치료인 턱관절균형요법(TMJ Balancing Therapy)으로 성장에 대한 긍정적인 효과를 얻어 보고하는 바이다.
