Occlusal Adjustments for Misaligned Bites

Uneven jaws can cause problems with chewing and pain in the teeth and jaw. In addition, teeth can become more prone to being injured. Here at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, we perform occlusal adjustments so that our patients have the perfect bite!


When teeth are misaligned, the top and the bottom jaw do not meet up as they should. This can increase the risk of injury, cause unnatural wear-down of teeth, and cause pain. Fortunately, with our advanced technology, we can detect even very tiny errors in bites and correct them accurately.


Our computer technology scans the patient’s mouth and detects any abnormalities. We then attach a very fine filling stone to a dental drill and gently make adjustments to the teeth. Our system is very accurate, so we can make these tiny adjustments without overdoing it.


The end result is a jaw that feels even. The patient should be able to close their teeth without their jaw feeling lopsided. They will be able to chew food correctly and any pain associated with the misalignment will subside. In addition, their teeth are no longer being worn down in unnatural areas.


If you feel your bite is misaligned, schedule an appointment with us for an occlusal adjustment. To schedule at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300. For more information, visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com
