When you bite, do you feel like your jaw is lopsided? If so, then you could require an occlusal change.
An occlusal change fixes the alignment of the bite, that is an outcome of loose, moving, crowded, or missing teeth. The result is an evenly distributed bite that gets rid of irregular pressure on one side of the mouth. As soon as your bite is adjusted, your teeth will meet properly. Occlusal adjustment causes minimal discomfort, and only a little pain.
Who is a good prospect for an occlusal adjustment? Patients with loose or moving teeth will sometimes not meet properly. Patients, who grind or clench their teeth, will have an unequal bite and pressure circulation in the mouth, which is likewise fixed through an occlusal change. Occasionally tooth sensitivity can be fixed with an occlusal adjustment as the treatment minimizes pressure on the delicate tooth.
