Occlusal Equilibration

[@saifshaikh3191]

Even after going to 3 dentists my occlusion haven't been corrected after going through root canal. I am suffering from 2 years now and I have TMD. Head and neck pain stiffness in neck, cant look up or to my left. Faulty dental work can ruin life of a patient. These articulation papers are bad. T Scan technology is best to adjust occlusion. Research Dr. Nick for TMJ and occlusion.

My back molars are not making contact when my mouth is closed, would this explain why my front canines are hitting hard when my mouth is closed?

[@NM-xj6qr]

At the end of the equilibration, we can see that #26 / 14 has contacts on the internal slope of the functional cusp, on the ML/DB ridge, on the mesial crest, and on the slop of the support cusp, which looks like a smile. The #27 no contact at all. How can this be good equilibrated? Isn't this method dangerous for normal muscle activity balance? It seems too chaotic and imprecise

Occlusal Equilibration criteria ? what is he refering to here. do we remove the non-functional contact areas ?

[@lizhoang2699]

This is very helpful, thank you so much!

[@thekapampangandentist7108]

Good day. May I know why marginal ridge contact needs to be removed? Thank you so much for the reply..

[@azouz5675]

why anterior teeth should not touch their antagonist and posterior should do ?

Where are you based? My orthodontist has ground of huge amounts of my teeth with no plan and has ruined my bite totally

[@christinacharles3283]

Please respond, I’m so uncomfortable. The dentist did this to me please tell me there is a way to fix this.

[@christinacharles3283]

@@lildeanc I don’t understand why it takes so long to find help, I was hoping all they’d have to do is place a crown the same shape as the original tooth structure. Omg my quality of life has been affected. I’m so scared

You can find his videos on KZbin. For me, unfortunately I don't live in U.S to visit Dr.Nick. But if I have enough money, then maybe I can.

How much enamel is removed when doing this?

[@mikelz6021]

.05 to .15mm or .2mm (almost nothing) varies

[@lildeanc]

Too much.

[@lildeanc]

@Stewart Ian Cochrane yes, but the problem is most dentists and orthodontist s don’t do a mock… they just randomly start grinding away tonnes of tooth and then when it’s incorrect you are left ruined.

[@lildeanc]

@Stewart Ian Cochrane I know, I think it’s a prostadontists job… or somthing like that, it’s not a job for orthodontists

this procedure ruined my life

[@victoriaboland4662]

I’m supposed to do this, can you explain how it ruined your life?

[@valna6219]

@@victoriaboland4662 my orthodontist did this procedure to me after braces. he ended up shaving deeply into the chewing surfaces of my teeth and I’ve had extreme tooth pain ever since and it completely destroyed my “bite”. It’s difficult to chew food, my teeth hit in the front before the back causing me to chip my teeth. It’s horrible. If you do this procedure you better trust that your dentist doesn’t want to hurt you. Completely healthy teeth and bite, now I’m looking at root canals and crowns. My orthodontist just wanted to hurt me that’s all. I suggest not doing this.
