Do you wake in the morning with sore jaws?
When you bite, do you feel like your jaw is lopsided? If so, then you may need an occlusal adjustment.
Loose, shifting, crowded, or missing teeth can change the bite. An occlussal adjustment results in an evenly distributed bite that eliminates irregular pressure on one side of the mouth. Once your bite is adjusted, your teeth will meet properly. In addition to the actual adjustment, biteguards can be used to protect the tooth surface and relax the jaw muscles once the adjustment is completed.
If you suspect that you may need an occlusal adjustment, schedule an appointment.
