Returns Comfort, Function and Balance
Proper alignment means greater comfort and a reduction in the problems associated with an unbalanced bite. In fact, a correct bite can significantly reduce teeth grinding, uneven wear, chipped teeth, headaches, and myriad chronic disorders. Thanks to his advanced training at the Pankey Institute and his work with multiple Tanner Splint Study Groups, Dr. Kell specializes in occlusion (bite) diagnosis and treatment of unbalanced bites. Occlusion examinations screen for:
-
TMJ problems - an unbalanced bite that causes pain in your jaw, face, neck, or upper-back
-
Bruxism - teeth grinding, sometimes while sleeping, that causes headaches, facial pain, and worn or chipped teeth
-
Clenching - a version of grinding that causes tension in face muscles and pain
-
Sleep apnea - obstructed airway that causes interrupted sleep due to breathing problems
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an occlusion checkup with us right away. We offer relief for unbalanced bites through custom-molded night splints, mouthguards, and other oral appliances and therapies. Why live with these tiresome and dangerous conditions for another day?
