Bite Adjustments (Occlusal Analysis) in Orlando, FL
Precise Bite Adjustments By A Board Certified Prosthodontist
Bite adjustment, also known as occlusal equilibration, involves selective reshaping of tooth surfaces aimed at improving how your teeth meet together. When your upper and lower teeth don't align properly, it can lead to jaw pain, headaches, excessive tooth wear, and TMJ disorders.
At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, Dr. Elizabeta Cokovska combines advanced prosthodontic training with precision diagnostic technology to identify and correct bite imbalances. Through comprehensive assessment using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify areas of occlusal imbalance and create a treatment plan that restores harmony to your bite, eliminating discomfort and protecting your teeth from further damage.

Benefits of Bite Adjustments
Who Is a Good Candidate for Bite Adjustments?
If there's conflict between where teeth fit best and where jaw joints are most stable, muscles become tight and jaw function is compromised. You may benefit from bite adjustment if you experience TMJ pain or clicking, wake up with jaw soreness, have excessive tooth wear from grinding, feel that new dental work doesn't fit right, or suffer from chronic headaches. During your consultation, Dr. Cokovska will evaluate your bite and determine if occlusal adjustment is the right solution for you.
