Occlusion is the way your teeth fit together, and we think it is vitally important to your long-term dental health. In health we find harmony between the jaw-joints, the chewing muscles, and the occlusion (bite) of the teeth. When harmony is lacking any or all the following can become problems: headaches, toothaches, periodontal (gum and supporting bone) disease, premature wear of teeth, fractured teeth, sensitive teeth, limited opening, popping in the jaw-joints, and joint-dislocation. We treat this disharmony and most people get relief fairly quickly. We use the NTI system to help get rid of the pain and then we work to establish the best occlusion you can have.
