What is dental occlusion?

Every time we clench our teeth, we achieve what is called dental occlusion

Dental occlusion is the alignment that naturally occurs between the upper and lower dental arches. In most people, the jaw and mandible are perfectly balanced, but there are several cases in which this does not happen.

An incorrect dental occlusion – in this case we call it malocclusion – can negatively affect chewing, swallowing and posture, giving rise to dental problems, muscular tensions, headaches, neck pains, joint problems and annoying sensations in closing the mouth.

With Teethan the dentist is able to evaluate the occlusal condition of the patient in a few seconds, without using invasive tools. In fact, Teethan is the first totally wireless medical device that, at the end of the visit, provides a digital report that easily shows the patient’s occlusal condition.
