The Occlusal Equilibration.   Defined and Explained for Patients.

Occlusal equilibration is a simple, precise way of fine-tuning how your teeth come together so your bite works in harmony with your muscles and jaw joints. When the bite is uneven, certain teeth take too much pressure, which can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear, and sensitivity. By gently adjusting those high spots, we help distribute forces more evenly, allowing your jaw to move more comfortably and your teeth to function the way they were designed. The goal is not to change your bite, but to help it work better, feel more natural, and support long-term dental health.

At Acadia TMJ and Airway Health, we use a variety of classical and new age tools and principles to get the teeth coming together better.
