Bite Normal

Occlusion is the method of closing the dentition of the upper and lower jaws with maximum contact between the antagonist teeth.

The bite may be:

– physiological;
– pathological;

Physiological occlusion is a bite that is formed in a child during teething. His upper and lower teeth are located in the correct position relative to each other. In this case, the upper teeth do not overlap the lower ones, and the lower ones do not move forward.

Pathological occlusion is formed as a result of various diseases or developmental disorders of the dental system. It can be either temporary or permanent.

Various methods can be used to correct an overbite:

  1. Orthodontic methods are methods that aim to correct malocclusion by changing the position of the teeth.
  2. Surgical methods are operations that are performed to correct malocclusion.
  3. Dentures are a method that is used to replace missing teeth or correct misaligned teeth.
  4. Conservative methods are treatment methods that do not require surgery and allow you to save teeth.
  5. Hardware methods are special devices that help correct the bite.
  6. Physiotherapeutic methods are treatment using various physical factors, such as laser, ultrasound, electrophoresis, etc.
  7. Manual methods are massages of the face and neck that help improve blood circulation and relieve muscle tension.
  8. Lifestyle adjustments are changes in eating, sleeping, physical activity, etc. habits that help improve the condition of teeth and gums.
