What symptoms does he hope to solve with equilibration (bite balancing)? In the absence of problems, I would be very skeptical about letting a dentist grind away at my teeth. Occlusion (how the teeth bite together) isn't fully understood even today. How it affects things such as TMD and bruxism is a source of debate among dental professionals. Every dentist does a small, limited 'balancing' whenever a new filling or crown is done, to make sure it fits into the old scheme of how you bite together.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Adenosine Since I grind my teeth, so my Dentist consider that I need to do bite balancing. And I like to know it is a new technic or not. According my Dentist, it is a new technic and not many Dentist know it. Please give me some idea. Thanks. A dentist grinding down your teeth will NOT help your parafunctional habit of grinding on your own teeth. If it would have helped, the wear worn on your teeth by this activity (yourself) would have corrected the problem itself.  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

In fact an equilibration may just give you a 'better bite' to clench even harder. <headachehope.com> shows something that will help.

This is not new, almost all dentists know how. Newer information shows us that 'balancing the bite' (occlusal adjustment) will not stop clenching/grinding.. Minor adjustments to eliminate interferences and construction of an NTI is the most effective treatment. headachehope.com -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > Would anyone give me some information about bite balancing? > Is bite balancing new technic?

If it's the same a equilibrating most dentists have quit doing it except to eliminate gross interferences. Others may disagree. OTOH, any time anyone in any field says hardly anyone but him/her knows how to do something - run. It has served me well in life. carabelli This might be an indication of where you should be running fast. Tell us your symptoms and complaints and we MIGHT be able to guess whether or not this is legitimate. New technique???? Back in 1937 it was. He is the only one who can do it? If you are on some tiny pacific island with only one dentist, he's right. Signature+=_-+=_-+=_-+=_-+=_-+=_-+=_-+=_- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

I am in Boston area. I guess I have grinding problem, I have gaps between bottom teeth and gum which are caused by grinding. I have one implement at my left bottom teeth area, I have not had crown yet. Currently, I can only use my right side of teeth. Since my Dentist told my that bite balancing is a new technic and he knows how to do it but not other Denist. I told him I need second opinion, he said to me "Make sure the Dentist know what bite and bounce is". That is the reason I start shopping around information. Please use your feet and walk away from this place. Go to: www.headacheprevention.com and find a provider near you who does the NTI. Don't let anyone re-shape your teeth until you have worn an NTI for a month or so. And, then only if they have a better reason to do so. Notches at the gum-line are usually due to night-time clenching with isometric grinding efforts which bend the teeth and cause microfraactures in these areas. Re-shaping your teeth could very well make the clenching more severe. I bet your treatment plan from this dentist was over $7K. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

I lost two left bottom teeth, I have one implant and it is ready to put a crown. Should I do bite balancing first, then let my dentist put the crown or reverse? Should I do another implant then, let my Dentist put two crown all at the same time? And, I found a Dentist who is D.D.S. My original Dentist is D.M.D. What is the difference between D.D.S. and D.M.D. Thanks for your help. > I lost two left bottom teeth, I have one implant and it is ready to > put a crown.

Skip the "balancing" as there is no proof it will accomplish anything. > Should I do another implant then, let my Dentist put two crown all at > the same time?
