TREATMENT OF OCCLUSION DISORDERS WARSAW
Treatment of occlusal disorders
Occlusal treatment is the process of restoring biomechanical harmony between the teeth, masticatory muscles, and temporomandibular joints. Occlusion is the way the upper and lower teeth meet during biting and jaw movement. When this relationship is disrupted, overuse occurs, which can lead to tooth decay, headaches, and joint problems.

Does the problem affect you?
We often don’t associate headaches or a stiff neck with teeth, but improper teeth contact (occlusion) may be the source of your discomfort. Check if you experience the following symptoms:
Tension headaches and migraines – especially those of unknown origin that worsen in the morning after waking up or in stressful situations.
Temporomandibular joint problems – clearly audible clicking, popping or painful “locking” of the jaw when opening the mouth wide.
Pathological tooth grinding (bruxism) – noticeable shortening of tooth crowns, cracking of enamel or persistent night-time grinding.
Chronic tension in the facial and neck muscles – a feeling of “fatigue” in the face, stiff neck and pressure pain in the area of the temples and masseter muscles.
Hypersensitivity and exposed tooth roots – the appearance of cavities near the gums (so-called wedge-shaped cavities) and reaction to cold, despite the absence of caries.
Recurrent crumbling of fillings – if your fillings or crowns frequently crack or fall out, the cause may be occlusal disease.
Tooth Root Fractures – If a tooth root fractures, one possible cause may be excessive forces acting during biting and grinding, characteristic of occlusal disease.

Occlusal disorders treatment overview
Functional consultation and interview
We focus on your symptoms—headaches, tension, or chewing problems. We conduct a manual examination of the facial muscles and temporomandibular joints to pinpoint the source of the problem.
Digital diagnostics
We perform intraoral scans and necessary imaging tests, such as X-rays, computed tomography, and 3D imaging. Digital analysis allows us to precisely assess occlusal conditions and plan treatment.
Deprogramming (Muscle Reset)
When necessary, we use specialized relaxation splints, such as the MAGO splint or deprogrammers, worn temporarily during the day or night. Their purpose is to relax the muscles and establish a natural, physiological jaw position.
Treatment planning
Based on the collected data, we prepare a precise treatment plan and simulate the target functional and aesthetic effect.
Proper treatment
Depending on your needs, we implement appropriate procedures, such as bite correction, splints orthodontic treatment, or prosthetic reconstruction.
Stabilization and control
After treatment is completed, we monitor the effects, ensuring the durability of the results and the long-term stability of the occlusion.

Holistic treatment of occlusal disorders
Holistic treatment of occlusal disorders is based on the premise that the problem affects not only the teeth but the entire stomatognathic system—that is, the teeth, muscles, temporomandibular joints, and their connections with posture and the nervous system. Therefore, therapy focuses not only on symptoms but primarily on identifying and addressing the cause of the disorder.
A key element of this approach is the work of a team of specialists. Treatment involves a dentist, orthodontist, prosthodontist, dental physiotherapist, osteopath, and speech therapist. Collaboration between these specialists allows for a diverse perspective on the problem and the most effective, personalized treatment.

Treatment methods for occlusal disorders
Equilibration
This precise, minimally invasive tooth surface correction allows for uniform and correct occlusal contact. This reduces stress on the teeth, muscles, and joints, often quickly relieving symptoms of pain and tension.
Splint therapy
It involves the use of individually fitted relaxation splints, most often worn at night. These splints protect teeth from abrasion, stabilize the jaw, and help relax muscles, so they are often the first step in symptomatic treatment.
Orthodontic or prosthetic treatment
Depending on the patient's needs, orthodontics or prosthetics are used to permanently improve occlusion. Orthodontics corrects tooth alignment and the relationship between the arches, while prosthetics rebuild worn or damaged teeth, restoring their proper height and function, allowing for stable occlusal harmony.
Collaboration with a physiotherapist, osteopath, and speech therapist
Dental physiotherapy, osteopathy, and speech therapy are essential complements to treatment, as they support the work of facial and neck muscles, temporomandibular joints, and the proper function of the tongue and masticatory system. Manual therapy, exercises, and the development of proper habits increase the effectiveness of treatment and help maintain its effects long-term.
