Balanced Bite - T-Scan II
T-Scan IITM - Balance Your Bite!
Have your bite analyzed with the T-Scan IITM as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of tooth material
failure and discomfort.
What is balanced occlusion?
Dental occlusion refers to the way your teeth meet when you bite together. All teeth should come in contact with one another simultaneously with minimal force. When this does not happen, your occlusion is unbalanced and problems may result.
Some effects of poor dental occlusion:
- Damaged restorations (crowns, bridges)
- Excess force on implants can lead to early failure
- Teeth can become loose or gums may recede
- TMJ - Clicking, grinding, or pain in your jaw joints, ringing or buzzing in your ears, and difficulty in opening or closing your mouth could all be due to your teeth not meeting each other properly
- Flattened, worn teeth
- Continual sensitivity of your teeth to temperature change
How can your bite become balanced?
A dental occlusal exam is very easy. You simply bite down on a thin sensor, which is comfortably shaped to
fit the arch of your mouth. Vivid graphics display tooth contact data immediately and accurately, highlighting each tooth and the force level exerted on that tooth during occlusion. This allows you and your dentist to immediately visualize problem areas before you leave the chair that day!
