Bite Adjustment in Plantation

Relieve Discomfort. Restore Balance.

If your bite feels off, it could be causing more problems than you realize. Uneven pressure on your teeth and jaw can lead to headaches, tooth wear, jaw pain, and even long-term dental damage. At Dr. Andre Grenier’s office, we provide precise bite adjustments to help restore comfort and function to your smile.

What Is a Bite Adjustment?

A bite adjustment—also known as occlusal equilibration—is a dental procedure that fine-tunes how your upper and lower teeth come together. By reshaping small areas of the teeth, we can create a more balanced bite that reduces strain on the teeth, jaw muscles, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ).

Common Signs You May Need a Bite Adjustment

• Frequent headaches or jaw soreness

• Clicking or popping in the jaw

• Uneven tooth wear or chipped teeth

• Pain when biting or chewing

• Grinding or clenching (bruxism)

• TMJ discomfort or dysfunction

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, a bite imbalance may be the root cause.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Consultation & Evaluation – Dr. Grenier will assess your bite using advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint any imbalances.

2. Occlusal Adjustment – We carefully reshape the biting surfaces of specific teeth for better alignment and even contact.

3. Post-Treatment Monitoring – In some cases, a custom nightguard may be recommended to prevent future issues like grinding or further wear.

Benefits of a Balanced Bite

• Relief from jaw pain, tension, and headaches

• Reduced risk of tooth fractures or enamel wear

• Improved chewing function and comfort

• Better long-term oral health and TMJ protection

• Enhanced smile function and harmony
