OCCLUSAL ADJUSTMENT

Achieve Balance in Your Bite with Occlusal Adjustment at Wave Dental with Dr. Ayham Nahhas, Houston, TX

A harmonious bite is vital to maintaining overall oral health. Misalignment, known as malocclusion, can lead to a variety of issues including tooth wear, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and discomfort while chewing. At Wave Dental in Houston, TX, under the expert direction of Dr. Ayham Nahhas, we offer occlusal adjustment procedures to correct bite misalignment and alleviate related issues.

Restoring Harmony to Your Bite

Occlusal adjustment is a dental procedure designed to correct irregularities in your bite. The process involves reshaping the biting surfaces of your teeth to ensure they fit together more effectively when your jaw is closed. This correction can improve chewing, alleviate jaw pain and headaches, and prevent tooth wear.

Dr. Nahhas, with his in-depth understanding of the intricacies of jaw and tooth alignment, uses the latest technology to conduct a thorough examination of your bite. He then precisely alters the surfaces of your teeth to improve your occlusion, ensuring the changes are comfortable and effective.

The Process of Occlusal Adjustment at Wave Dental

During an occlusal adjustment, Dr. Nahhas will first identify high spots or irregularities in your bite using a special type of paper. The paper leaves marks on the teeth where contact is too high or heavy. These areas are then carefully adjusted using a dental drill. The process is painless and does not damage the teeth.

Once the adjustment is complete, you'll notice an immediate improvement in the comfort of your bite. Over time, occlusal adjustment can help prevent more serious dental issues and contribute to better overall oral health.
