T-Scan for bite imbalance While some people report an imbalanced bite, others find that they feel stable if they choose to bite left or right. This sensation of having two very distinct different options of where to put their teeth, actually indicates that the jaw is having to make a choice. So, as the teeth come together if they touch and there’s a slippery surface — they have to go left or right, maybe forward or back, in order to get the teeth to touch. The T-Scan is helpful and because it shows what happens with the timing of the impact of the teeth before jaw muscles automatically make that decision which way to go. It’s really important to balance the bite into THAT position so that neither teeth are being stressed by that extra strain as they go left or right OR that the muscles don’t become fatigued trying to support the joint as it goes left or right.<\/p>\n
