T-Scan: Digital Bite Analysis Delray Beach

Digital Bite Analysis, or simply bite test, is performed when patients needs to have their occlusion measured.

It is necessary to measure a patient’s bite when treatments involve night guards or orthodontics, for example.

Also, when a crown needs to be leveled, or when constant tearing of teeth affects your mouth, Dr. Goetz may require a Bite Analysis.

Sometimes, the way the upper teeth and the lower teeth fit together is not correct. This brings along dental problems such as constant jaw pain, wearing and tearing of teeth, and discomfort.

T-Scan technology is used to perform the Digital Bite or Occlusion Analysis. It measures the force of the teeth when biting. The patient will simply bite down on a sensor. This sensor will check level, force and timing of the bite, providing exact data so that Dr. Goetz can diagnose the problem and start your treatment plan.

Tackling issues caused by an improper bite is essential for your oral health.
