Diagnosis for bite problems are based on difficulty chewing, worn teeth, changes with the position of your teeth over time, or pain in your jaw joints.
Based on these parameters, you will be given a Risk Assessment:
- Hi = Poor prognosis if not treated
- Moderate = Fair prognosis, may or may not require treatment
- Low = Excellent prognosis, no treatment necessary
Treatment Options will be discussed including:
- Diet Modification
- Maintenance/Reexamination
- Appliance Therapy/Protection
- Functional Analysis to determine definitive treatment plan.
- Rebuild Teeth
