Occlusal Therapy

The way in which teeth meet together is called occlusion or bite. When there are discrepancies with the bite this can cause problems such as:

• Toothache and premature tooth wear
• Pain, clicking or locking of the jaw joint
• Tenderness of the facial muscles which sometimes extends to the neck or shoulders
• Headaches

With occlusal therapies such as occlusal adjustments and splint therapy we can reduce these symptoms and usually resolve the problem.
