A misaligned bite can lead to jaw soreness, sensitive teeth, and pain. It can even affect the way you eat. Here at Bridge Smiles Dental Group in Neshanic Station, NJ and Somerville, NJ, we have an easy fix for a misaligned bite called an occlusal adjustment.
When teeth are misaligned, biting and chewing can create uneven pressure on the jaw. The jaw joints and the muscles surrounding them can become fatigued and sore. Teeth also experience unnatural pressure. They can become worn down in areas which can lead to sensitivity and injury. Fractures are common with misaligned teeth as well as difficulty chewing food.
An occlusal adjustment makes minor changes to the teeth so that they can line up correctly. We use advanced computer technology to detect precise abnormalities in the patient’s bite. To adjust these areas, we use a very fine filling stone. Our technology allows us to be as accurate as possible so that only the necessary areas are filed down.
An uneven jaw can lead to pain and sensitivity. Fortunately, an occlusal adjustment is a simple and quick procedure.
