Correcting bite issues

Personalised Bite Assessment

Every bite is unique, and understanding how your teeth and jaw work together is essential for long-term comfort and oral health. Our personalised bite assessment uses advanced diagnostic tools to analyse jaw movement, tooth contact, and pressure distribution while you bite and chew.

This detailed evaluation helps identify uneven pressure points that may cause discomfort, wear, or strain over time. By accurately assessing how your bite functions, we can plan precise and effective treatment tailored specifically to you. The result is improved comfort, better function, and predictable long-term outcomes for restorations, orthodontics, and overall dental stability.

Modjaw

Modjaw is an advanced digital jaw-tracking system that records how your jaw moves while you bite, chew, and speak. This technology provides a highly accurate, real-time analysis of your bite, helping us understand how your teeth come together and move. By visualising jaw function in detail, Modjaw allows us to diagnose problems precisely and plan treatments with greater accuracy and confidence.

Key benefits of Modjaw:

• Real-time digital tracking of jaw movement
• Shows how teeth contact during biting and chewing
• Identifies bite imbalances and pressure points
• Helps achieve better comfort, function, and long-term stability

T-Scan

T-Scan bite technology allows us to precisely analyse how your teeth come together during biting and chewing. Unlike traditional bite paper, T-Scan digitally records the timing, sequence, and pressure of each tooth contact in real time. This advanced analysis helps identify which teeth touch first and where excessive force is concentrated. These high-pressure areas can contribute to discomfort, uneven tooth wear, jaw strain, or damage to crowns and restorations. By understanding your bite dynamics in detail, we can accurately adjust and balance your bite.

The result is improved comfort, smoother chewing function, reduced strain on teeth and joints, and more predictable, long-term dental stability.

Reducing Jaw & Muscle Strain

Correcting bite imbalance helps reduce excessive stress on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. When the bite is properly aligned, jaw movements become smoother, more natural, and comfortable. This reduces muscle tension, minimises clicking sounds, and eases stiffness often felt while opening or closing the mouth. Balanced bite function also lowers the risk of long-term jaw problems such as TMJ disorders. By improving how the teeth meet, daily activities like chewing, speaking, and resting feel more relaxed and effortless.

Overall, a well-balanced bite supports healthier muscles, better jaw function, and improved everyday comfort.

Preventing Tooth Wear

Preventing tooth wear is essential for maintaining a healthy, comfortable, and long-lasting smile. When your bite is properly balanced, excessive pressure on certain teeth is reduced, helping prevent uneven wear and surface damage. This protects your natural enamel and existing restorations such as crowns, bridges, and fillings, allowing them to last longer. Reducing excessive bite forces also lowers tooth sensitivity caused by enamel loss and decreases the risk of cracks or fractures. Correcting bite issues supports better chewing function and overall comfort, while preserving the natural strength, appearance, and alignment of your teeth.

Benefits include:

• Reduces uneven tooth wear
• Lowers tooth sensitivity
• Preserves your natural smile

Long-Term Bite Stability

Long-term bite stability is essential for maintaining healthy teeth, proper jaw function, and overall oral comfort. Correcting bite issues addresses the underlying causes of imbalance, allowing teeth to meet evenly and function naturally over time. A stable bite supports smooth jaw movement and reduces unnecessary strain on muscles and joints.By improving chewing efficiency and maintaining balanced function, bite correction supports predictable results and long-lasting oral wellbeing.

Key benefits:

• Maintains healthy bite balance
• Supports proper jaw function
• Reduces muscle and joint strain
• Lowers risk of future dental problems
• Improves chewing efficiency and comfort
• Helps keep your smile stable and healthy
