Do you feel like your jaw or bite is uneven? You may have malocclusion. This can cause pain, sensitivity, and even damage to your teeth. At Greenville Family Dentistry in Greenville, TX, we perform occlusal adjustments so that our patients can have a set of chompers that meet and distribute pressure evenly.
An occlusal adjustment is performed using a fine filing stone and a dental drill. An advanced computer system scans the mouth to detect the uneven alignment. This technology can pick up even the tiniest difference. We then use the filing stone to make minor adjustments to the teeth so that they will meet together correctly.
When teeth are misaligned, biting and chewing can introduce uneven pressure in the mouth. This can cause difficulty with chewing food. It can also result in damage to the teeth like fractures and worn down enamel. Pain, sensitivity, and pressure are common symptoms of malocclusion.
If you have been experiencing an uneven feeling and pain in your teeth or jaw, you may benefit greatly from an occlusal adjustment.
