Description

Bite adjustment—also known as occlusal adjustment, bite equilibration, or correction of traumatic occlusion—is a precise dental treatment designed to relieve problems caused by an unbalanced bite, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, TMJ discomfort, and headaches. By making gentle modifications to the biting surfaces of your teeth or dental restorations, dentists can ensure that chewing forces are evenly spread across all teeth. This helps to stop further damage from bite misalignment, prevents cracked or worn-down teeth, and eases symptoms like tooth sensitivity and facial tension. Bite adjustment is often recommended for those suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism), misaligned teeth, or persistent jaw issues, and is commonly paired with treatments like orthodontics or bite splint therapy for long-lasting results. If you’re searching for bite correction, adjustment for improper bite, or treatment for tooth wear caused by traumatic occlusion, this minimally invasive solution can restore comfort, function, and protect your long-term oral health.
