There is Relief!
With the right treatment your bite can be pain and problem free. All problems listed above can usually be eliminated by the correct approach to your bite. While you likely do not have any other symptoms, the origin of these problems can be the way your teeth function — what touches where when you chew, grind, or bite into food.
As the video below shows, relief from your jaw and bite problems begins with a computerized analysis of the forces on your teeth. This tells us which teeth are taking the brunt of the force and which are barely touching. Once we know that, we can tailor jaw and bite treatment to your individual needs.
Beware of Incomplete Treatment for Jaw and Bite Problems
Most treatment for jaw and bite problems usually consists of the “tap-tap-tap” procedure and is used to grind away some of the high spots that may cause you discomfort. However, the tapping and grinding is actually a 2-dimensional way to adjust teeth in a 3-dimensional system. It does not solve the jaw and bite problem; it takes away tooth structure that may be needed; and, it just eliminates more places your teeth SHOULD touch.
