When you need stability and improved function

 COMPUTERIZED BITE ANALYSIS AND CORRECTION

Occlusion analysis is the study of the relationship of the biting surfaces of opposing teeth and their associated functional harmonies. The primary purpose of occlusion analysis is to reveal interferences in the bite which cannot be observed directly in the mouth. Diagnostic casts are necessary for  documentation and subsequent analysis of the bite (occlusion).  Once the diagnostic casts are made and transferred to an instrument we can begin the occlusal analysis. This detailed analysis is most often performed prior to the initiation of any comprehensive restorative, prosthetic, or periodontal treatment plan. The analysis will identify the corrective measures that are necessary to harmoniously balance the functional dynamics of your bite.
Occlusal adjustment is the scientific grinding and/or reshaping of the occluding surfaces of teeth to develop and improve upon their harmonious relationships between each other, their supporting structures, muscles of mastication, and temporomandibular joints.
Dr. Burgoyne uses a combination of clinical diagnosis and computerized analysis with a Tekscan device.  This device identifies the timing of contacts(which teeth hit first) and the magnitude of the contacts.  None of this information is attainable using inked paper alone.
