How is bite therapy performed?
Bite therapy includes one or more of the following procedures – Bite Adjustment (Occlusal Adjustment) – This includes reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth to remove unnecessary friction as the teeth come into contact. Splinting Teeth Together – Teeth may be splinted together with a tooth-colored bonding material. This helps prevent mobile teeth from moving around and aids with the recovery of periodontal therapy. Braces (Orthodontics) – Braces help in repositioning mal-aligned or drifted teeth. Replace - Replacing old, worn, or damaged fillings, crowns, etc. can help in correcting the bite. Smile Makeover - Reconstruction of damaged and worn-out teeth with crowns and bridges may help. This may require dental implants.
