TMJ Disorder & Occlusal Disease Self Evaluation
Occlusal disease has many causes. A dentist trained in occlusion and TMJ can discuss all of these factors, yet the two main causes are:
- Having an unbalanced bite
- Premature tooth wear from involuntary teeth grinding (or bruxism)
Even for people who grind their teeth uncontrollably, having a balanced bite is beneficial. Take our occlusal disease self-evaluation and see if occlusion and TMJ are the cause of your discomfort.
