Bite & Habit Correction

A bite is considered to be healthy when all or most of the teeth are present and not destroyed by normal daily usage.

It is destructive when teeth show wear, looseness or when TMJ (jaw joint) damage is seen. Bite therapy helps restore a bite that can function without damage and destruction. The therapy may include:

Reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth and eliminating spots of excessive pressures where the teeth are brought into contact. This is done by carefully smoothing out pressure spots on the teeth.

Nightguard therapy using a custom fitted and adjusted plastic guard to keep the teeth apart, day, night or both.

Braces, to reposition mal-aligned or drifted teeth. This would be part of a comprehensive treatment plan with your Dentist and Orthodontist.

Replacement of old, worn out or damaged fillings and reconstruction of badly worn and damaged teeth. The importance of good dental health in relation to good periodontal health can not be overstressed. It is critical to know that your periodontal treatment plan supports the overall dental picture. Following through with your prosthetic plan after periodontal therapy is necessary for both the future periodontal health and overall dental well being.
