A proper bite is essential for overall oral health, comfort, and functionality. Misaligned bites can lead to jaw pain, headaches, uneven tooth wear, and even TMJ disorders. At Advanced Dental Center, we use Digital Bite Analysis to accurately assess and diagnose bite issues, ensuring precise adjustments and long-term dental health solutions.
What Is Digital Bite Analysis?
Digital Bite Analysis is a high-tech diagnostic tool that allows dentists to evaluate how your teeth come together when you bite, chew, and speak. Traditional bite assessments relied on visual inspections and articulating paper, but digital technology now provides real-time, precise measurements of pressure points and force distribution.
Using advanced sensors and software, Digital Bite Analysis helps detect:
Uneven pressure on teeth that may lead to excessive wear or chipping
Misaligned bites (malocclusion) that can contribute to TMJ disorders and discomfort
Unbalanced chewing forces that can cause tension headaches or jaw pain
Issues after dental restorations to ensure crowns, bridges, and veneers fit perfectly
Why Is a Proper Bite Important?
An unbalanced bite can cause more than just discomfort—it can lead to long-term dental complications such as:
Tooth Wear & Sensitivity – Uneven pressure can erode enamel, leading to pain and damage.
Jaw Pain & TMJ Disorders – A misaligned bite can strain the jaw muscles, causing tension headaches and joint pain.
Difficulty Chewing – Poor bite alignment can make eating uncomfortable or even painful.
Post-Dental Work Adjustments – If new crowns, veneers, or bridges aren’t perfectly aligned, they can disrupt the bite and require further adjustments.
By using Digital Bite Analysis, we can pinpoint problem areas and customize treatments to restore a balanced, comfortable bite.
How Digital Bite Analysis Works
At Advanced Dental Center, we use state-of-the-art T-Scan® technology, a cutting-edge system that precisely measures the timing and force of your bite.
Bite Recording – You’ll bite down on a digital sensor that captures data on tooth contact and pressure distribution.
Real-Time Data Analysis – Advanced software maps out force imbalances, showing areas of excessive pressure.
Customized Treatment Plan – Based on the results, we can recommend adjustments such as:
Bite realignment therapy
Occlusal adjustments (reshaping high spots on teeth)
TMJ treatments
Orthodontic solutions (Invisalign® or braces)
This non-invasive, painless procedure ensures that any bite-related problems are accurately diagnosed and treated before they lead to serious issues.
Who Can Benefit from Digital Bite Analysis?
You may be a candidate for Digital Bite Analysis if you experience:
Jaw pain, clicking, or discomfort when chewing
Frequent headaches or facial tension
Uneven wear on teeth or dental restorations
