What is Occlusal Equilibration?

When the jaw joint is fully seated in the socket, occlusal equilibration involves minor reshaping of the teeth to allow them to fit together like a puzzle piece. Within days, or even hours, the muscles will relax, eliminating pain and sensitivity.

The process of balancing the bite is called equilibration. The purpose of equilibration is to ensure that the teeth hit evenly even when the jaw joints are properly seated but we aren’t biting on all of them. To distribute the bite forces evenly to all the teeth, we must ensure that all the teeth are hitting evenly. Occlusal equilibration is often the easiest way to achieve this. Having a patient rebalanced regularly is very predictable, minimally invasive, and extremely successful.

Benefits of Equilibration

Balanced Bite

A well-balanced bite reduces the stress on individual teeth and joints by evenly distributing forces applied to them.

Reduced Jaw Pain

Equilibration helps alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension caused by bite imbalances.

Improved Function

When the bite is balanced properly, chewing efficiency and overall dental function are enhanced, resulting in more pleasant daily activities.

Preventive Care
