Dental Occlusion
Function and aesthetics. Precision care targeting the root-cause of symptoms.
Dental occlusion refers to the relationship between the upper and lower teeth, and its impact on the craniofacial structures. Occlusal contact points, both static and dynamic, directly influence the state and function of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), the periodontium, the masticatory muscles, and the neuromuscular system. An optimal dental occlusion, achieved through functional orthodontic treatment and/or prosthetic rehabilitations, plays a fundamental role in preserving our health and well-being. Our speech, mastication, sleep, posture, and bruxism all depend on this essential, yet often overlooked, element of the stomatognathic system.
