What is an Occlusal Adjustment?
An occlusal adjustment is a dental procedure that corrects the alignment of your bite. It addresses issues caused by loose, shifting, crowded, or missing teeth. By ensuring your teeth meet correctly, this adjustment helps distribute bite pressure evenly across your mouth, reducing discomfort and preventing further dental problems.
What To Expect From An Occlusal Adjustment Procedure?
During the procedure, a dentist uses a fine filing stone on a dental drill to make precise adjustments to your teeth. The process causes minimal pain and only slight discomfort. In some cases, removable mouthpieces are used to protect the tooth surface and relax the jaw muscles. New technology, including computer scans, allows for highly accurate adjustments to ensure a well-aligned bite.
