Quick Summary
An occlusal adjustment at Dentistry on Duncan Mill precisely reshapes the biting surfaces of teeth so the upper and lower jaws meet evenly and in proper alignment. An unbalanced bite can cause one or two teeth to absorb excessive force with every chew, leading to cracked teeth, worn enamel, jaw muscle fatigue, and headaches. This simple procedure uses articulating paper to identify high spots and selectively removes tiny amounts of enamel from those points, redistributing bite forces evenly.
Articulating paper records exactly where your teeth contact first and how the bite distributes force across all teeth.
Your dentist identifies which teeth bear excessive force and plans the minimal adjustments needed to balance the bite.
Tiny amounts of enamel are removed from identified high points using fine polishing instruments to achieve even contact.
Articulating paper confirms even contact across all teeth in all jaw positions before the appointment concludes.
