How do you relieve occlusion?
How are occlusal problems treated?
- Tooth Adjustment (equilibration) – Your teeth may need to be carefully adjusted to meet evenly.
- Replacement of teeth – The temporo-mandibular joint needs equal support from both sides of both jaws.
- Medication – Some drugs can help in certain cases, but this is usually only temporary.
What are buccal occlusions?
A buccal occlusion is understood as occlusional dysfunction in the lateral tooth area, in which the upper premolars or molars buccally bite past their antagonists.
What does normal occlusion mean?
Occlusion is defined as making contact with the surface of an opposing tooth when the jaws are closed. Normal Occlusion – For a normal occlusion, the mesio-buccal cusp of the maxillary first molar is aligned with the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar.
What is a Class 3 occlusion?
Definition of a class 3 malocclusion Dental malocclusions are classified based on the positioning of the upper and lower molars. Class 3 is the rarest type of malocclusion.

Does occlusion cause TMJ?
The relationship between temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and occlusion remains controversial. Some authors believe that occlusion is the primary factor in the onset of TMD symptoms, whereas others feel that occlusion has no role in this at all.

What is malocclusion of the teeth?

Parents of young children should limit pacifier and bottle use to help reduce changes in the development of the jaw.
What are the three types of malocclusion?
The three types of malocclusion are: Class 1: Neutroclussion: In this condition, the bite is perfectly normal but the upper jaw overlaps the lower jaw slightly. The ideal molar alignment, as determined by the angle, is maintained but the remaining teeth may display spacing, crowding, over eruption or under eruption. Class 2:…
Is malocclusion hereditary?
Malocclusion is usually an inherited condition. This means it can be passed down from one generation to the next. There are some conditions or habits that may change the shape and structure of your jaw. These include: frequent use of a pacifier after you’re 3 years old
