Occlusal disease management is the process of diagnosing and treating conditions related to the alignment of the teeth and jaw, known as occlusion. Issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, teeth grinding (bruxism), and malocclusion (misalignment) can cause pain, discomfort, and even long-term dental damage.

Treatment options for occlusal diseases may include orthodontics to correct bite misalignments, the use of nightguards or splints to prevent teeth grinding, and physical therapy to address jaw pain. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to correct structural issues.

Proper occlusal disease management can alleviate pain, reduce the risk of tooth damage, and improve overall function, such as chewing and speaking. By addressing occlusal issues early, patients can avoid more severe complications in the future.

With effective occlusal disease management, patients can achieve a balanced bite, improved comfort, and better oral health overall.
