Occlusal Disease Treatment
Restore balance and reduce wear—correcting bite misalignment protects your teeth, jaw, and long-term oral health.
The Process
Occlusal treatment may include adjusting enamel surfaces (occlusal equilibration), using nightguards, or designing splints to protect teeth and relieve muscle strain. In advanced cases, orthodontic correction or restorative work may be needed to realign your bite.
The Results
By rebalancing your bite, patients often experience reduced jaw pain, fewer headaches, and preservation of tooth structure. Addressing occlusal issues early helps prevent complex, costly treatments later.
Care Tips After Treatment
Avoid hard or uneven chewing surfaces if adjustments were made
Wear custom splints as recommended, especially at night
Maintain regular dental checkups to assess bite stability
Practice jaw relaxation techniques to minimize strain

What is Occlusal Disease?
Occlusal disease refers to accelerated tooth wear caused by a misaligned bite (malocclusion) —where teeth, muscles, and jaw aren’t working in harmony. Over time, this imbalance can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, and tooth loss.

Reduces jaw and facial pain from uneven bite stress
Safeguards your teeth from rapid wear and supports long-term structural integrity
