If I Have Bite Dysfunction, What Should I Do?
If you are experiencing any of the signs or symptoms, a comprehensive diagnosis is needed to evaluate your chewing system. To accurately diagnose a bite dysfunction, mounted study models of your teeth are essential along with a dental examination, periodontal examination, jaw joint evaluation and muscle examination. The models of your teeth are then mounted on an instrument (articulator) that simulates your lower jaw movements allowing the dentist to evaluate the mechanics of your bite in relation to your jaw joints. Once the problem is identified, a solution to restore harmony to your chewing can be discussed with you.
