Why Might a Periodontist Recommend Occlusal Adjustment?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Occlusal issues can contribute to the development of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).TMD affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.By adjusting the occlusion, the periodontist can alleviate stress on the TMJ, reducing the risk of TMD-related symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds.Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Individuals who grind their teeth (a condition known as bruxism) often experience uneven wear on their teeth.Occlusal adjustment can help distribute the forces more evenly, preventing excessive wear and reducing the impact of bruxism on oral structures.Tooth Mobility and Sensitivity: Malocclusion, or improper alignment of teeth, can lead to tooth mobility and increased sensitivity.Occlusal adjustment addresses these issues by redistributing the biting forces, improving stability, and reducing discomfort.
