- Difference between jaw joint bite and tooth bite
- Teeth control muscles to protect teeth
- Jaw joint wants power control muscles to full seat joint-relax muscles
- Definitions:
- Tooth bite is maximum interdigitation teeth
- Jaw joint bite is fully seated condyles in fossa
- Control of chewing muscles = “muscle guarding”
- Teeth controll muscles to go into tooth proctected bite
- Jaw joint tries order muscles to allow fully seated condyles
- There are teeth in way to full seat condyles
- So conflict erupts between muscle controlls
- This muscle guarding by both controllers increases muscle inflammation
- Muscle overuse or over contraction contributors
- Joint laxity = hypermobility = dual bite
- Tooth position does not allow full seat joint
- Orthotic allows full seat jaw joint w/o teeth interfering w/ the jaw joint need fully seat
- Who has dual bite?
- 85 % no dual bite
- 10 % small dual bite
- 5% moderate dual bite
- Great difference Dual Bite, the greater muscle activity
