Occlusal (Bite) Therapy

Teeth that have become loose are not only uncomfortable and useless for chewing, but they will also lose more bone when the gums are infected.

Loose teeth will tighten as gum infection is resolved.

Treatment of residual looseness can include orthodontic tooth movement (braces), occlusal adjustment (reshaping the biting surfaces) and/or splinting of teeth with either fillings or a removable appliance (bite guard).
