Restoring Balance and Comfort

At South Gate Clinic, we understand the crucial role that a harmonious bite plays in overall dental health and comfort. Our bite adjustment services are tailored to address bite irregularities and restore balance, ensuring optimal oral function and comfort for our patients. In this article, we'll explore the importance of bite adjustment and how South Gate Clinic can help you achieve a balanced and comfortable bite.

What is Bite Adjustment?

Bite adjustment, also known as occlusal adjustment, is a dental procedure aimed at correcting bite irregularities or occlusal interferences. These irregularities may result from misaligned teeth, improper dental restorations, or changes in the jaw structure. Bite adjustment involves carefully reshaping the chewing surfaces of the teeth to create a more even and balanced bite.

Key Components of Bite Adjustment:

1. Evaluation: Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your bite, including assessing how your upper and lower teeth come together when you bite down (occlusion). We may also use diagnostic tools such as dental X-rays or bite analysis devices to identify areas of imbalance or interference.
2. Adjustment: Using specialized dental instruments, our skilled dentists will carefully remove small amounts of enamel from specific areas of the teeth to achieve a more even and balanced bite. This process may involve smoothing out rough or uneven surfaces, reshaping cusps, or adjusting the alignment of teeth as needed.
3. Verification: After making the necessary adjustments, we will assess your bite again to ensure that it feels comfortable and functions properly. Any further refinements or fine-tuning may be made to achieve the desired result.

Benefits of Bite Adjustment:

• Improved Comfort: Bite adjustment eliminates areas of uneven pressure and relieves strain on the jaw muscles, leading to reduced discomfort and tension.
• Enhanced Functionality: A balanced bite promotes more efficient chewing and biting, allowing for better food breakdown and digestion.
• Prevention of Dental Issues: By correcting bite irregularities, bite adjustment helps prevent excessive wear and tear on the teeth, reducing the risk of dental problems such as tooth fractures, TMJ disorders, and gum recession.
