Our teeth, when in a natural equilibrium, contact in an even manner on both of the jaws. When they contact in such a way, there is no stress on the jaw joint and jaw muscles.
Dental equilibration occurs when all of your lower teeth contact your upper teeth in a balancedl way. When the balance is lost, it leads to headaches, muscle soreness, wear, and tear of your natural teeth, chipped teeth, loose teeth, gum injuries and other painful conditions or disturbances in mouth and face.
Dental equilibration can be lost due to various reasons like an improper alignment of teeth, abnormal biting habits, grinding of teeth, excessive forces on teeth due to innumerable reasons. Movement of teeth due to missing tooth or orthodontic treatment, blunt trauma on teeth or even sinusitis can lead to poor distribution of forces.
How it is done?”
Dental Equilibration treatment is nothing but reshaping your tooth in a mild yet corrective manner. Specialty Dental Surgeon will remove high pressure spots on teeth in a selective manner. By removing high spots, it allows the muscles to relax and reduces pressure on joints or any such pain. It also involves replacing missing teeth so that this condition of ‘Imbalance and Pain‘ doesn’t relapse.
It may take two or more visits for the complete treatment. It is done in slow progressions so that the patient adjusts to the new bite easily.
The interesting part is that there is no need for anesthesia in this treatment as the spot removed is very tiny. Hence no sensitivity occurs. Our dentists will use a bite marker. You will be asked to bite on it. The marks left after it will show the areas where you are biting hard. These areas will be trimmed down with great precision so that other areas are not disturbed.
After the treatment, you will bite evenly on the teeth during the day, if you have night grinding or other faulty habits, you will be given a splint or a night guard for the teeth to make sure equilibration is maintained for a prolonged period of time.
There are many issues that can be treated by dental equilibration treatment. Some people who can benefit from the treatment are:
