We improve our patients' occlusion, and custom-make dentures and bridges so that our patients can bite and chew better. In other words, their upper and lower teeth do not come together properly when they bite.
Poor occlusion can trigger other problems.
A significant proportion of people with poor occlusion may also suffer from headaches,shoulder muscle pain, painful joints, have difficultly opening their mouth, and may experience blurriness of vision. Everyone is different in the size and shape of their jaw, the occlusion of their teeth,the movement of their jaw, the size of their teeth and the strength of their jaw muscles. This means that when we custom-make prosthodontic devices, we have to take a lot of measurements but as a result, we can make dentures and bridges that are more comfortable and effective. The pictures and text below show some of the important steps in the process. We are able to reproduce and study the relationship between a patient's upper and lower jaws.
