What is Bite Treatment?
Bite therapy means any therapeutic action that includes everything done to maintain the occlusal condition. Bite therapy focuses on the misalignment of the bite and correcting the bite to correct the disease or disorder.
When the bite becomes misaligned, the human body tries to compensate and the skeletal structure becomes distorted. Most patients who say they do not have a single cavity actually have a problem with their bite, but they are not aware of it. At our clinic, we will thoroughly understand the cause of the problem and provide a satisfactory explanation before performing bite alignment treatment, so please feel free to consult with us if you are concerned about your bite alignment.

About Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding (bruxism) is the act of grinding the teeth together or biting down hard. Although many people may not be aware of it, many people grind their teeth unconsciously, such as during sleep. The common treatment is to wear a splint (mouthpiece) to reduce the burden of teeth grinding. Since the cause of teeth grinding is most likely stress, it is most important to reduce stress!。
