Dental occlusion therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating issues related to the alignment of the teeth and jaws, known as occlusion. Improper occlusion can lead to a variety of problems, including jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing or speaking. The goal of occlusion therapy is to restore proper bite function and alleviate associated discomfort.

Treatment may involve orthodontic procedures, such as braces or clear aligners, to realign the teeth, as well as the use of dental appliances, like splints or nightguards, to address bite issues during sleep.

For patients with more severe occlusal issues, restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, or veneers may be necessary to correct the bite and ensure proper function. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to realign the jaw.

Dental occlusion therapy helps improve overall oral health by preventing the complications of misaligned teeth, such as tooth wear, jaw strain, and TMJ disorders, and provides relief from pain caused by occlusal dysfunction.
