Fix Your Bite and Relieve Jaw Discomfort
Waking up with sore jaws or an uneven bite? An occlusal adjustment might be the solution. This procedure corrects misalignments caused by shifting, missing, or crowded teeth, helping your bite meet evenly. The process involves a dental drill with a fine filing stone and causes minimal discomfort. After the adjustment, removable mouthpieces protect your teeth and help relax your jaw muscles. Enjoy a more comfortable, balanced bite!
Who Needs an Occlusal Adjustment?
An occlusal adjustment is ideal for patients with loose or shifting teeth, as these can prevent a proper bite alignment. It's also beneficial for those who grind or clench their teeth, leading to uneven bite pressure. Additionally, tooth sensitivity may be reduced, as the adjustment helps alleviate pressure on sensitive areas.
Thanks to advanced dental technology, dentists can now precisely pinpoint areas that need adjustments. Using a computer scan that records hundreds of bite registrations per minute, even the smallest irregularities can be detected. This ensures only necessary adjustments are made for a properly aligned bite with minimal wear.
