A poor occlusion can cause many health problems, such as headaches, facial pain and insomnia. Usually the patient does not realize that they have this condition and the dentist is often unable to discover a faulty occlusion by way of a regular examination.
Gnathological Treatment allows the dentist to measure the relationship of the jaws with special devices and treat the patient accordingly.
