Occlusion
What is it?
Occlusion studies how the upper and lower teeth relate to each other, as well as the functioning of the masticatory system. Harmony between the teeth, muscles and joints is essential for the comfort and balance of the masticatory system.
Occlusion
Occlusion refers to the way the upper and lower teeth come together when you bite.
When this relationship is unbalanced, it can cause symptoms that are often subtle but persistent, affecting everyday comfort and oral function.
Why is a balanced bite important?
A balanced bite contributes to daily wellbeing by supporting efficient chewing, reducing muscular tension and protecting the teeth and their supporting structures.
When should you book an appointment?
- If you experience pain when chewing
- If you notice excessive tooth wear
- If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism)
- If you experience clicking or locking of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- If you experience muscular pain in the face or jaw
