Bite Adjustment

A bite is considered to be healthy when all or most of the teeth are present and not destroyed by normal daily usage.

It is destructive when teeth show wear, looseness or when TMJ (jaw joint) damage exists. Bite therapy helps restore a bite that can function without damage and destruction. The therapy may include:

• Reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth to eliminate spots of excessive pressure when the teeth are brought into contact. This is done by carefully dividing bite pressures evenly across all of the teeth.
• Bite splint therapy using a custom fitted and adjusted plastic bite guard to keep the upper and lower teeth apart during the day, night or both.
• Braces to reposition mal-aligned or drifted teeth.
• Replacement of old, worn out or damaged fillings.
• Reconstruction of badly worn and damaged teeth
