Occlusion is how your teeth in your jaw fit or your bite. When an occlusal analysis is performed it is an analysis of your bite. The dentist wants to examine the areas where your teeth contact each other.
A occlusal or bite adjustment is a procedure designed to realign the bite.
Thus, improving how your so teeth meet. In conditions like TMJ, it can relieve pressure and strain on individual teeth as well as the jaw and bone.
When you bite your top and bottom teeth should come together at the same time. A malocclusion happens if some teeth touch before the others. This is considered an “imperfect” bite that can cause the serious issues over time.
You may be unaware that you have a malocclusion, but you may see some symptoms of a misaligned bite.
Each dental procedure that is performed impacts occlusion or blockage or closing of a blood vessel.
A T-Scan provides occlusal measurement that reveals the level and timing of force on individual teeth, and the occlusal stability of the overall bite. Accurate diagnostics make for better, faster treatment.
A t-scan can also make dental procedures more effective and efficient by eliminating multiple trips for adjustment.
