Occlusal adjustment can be defined as the removal of occlusal interferences, through selective tooth grinding or through the use of restorative materials. The aim of such an intervention is to obtain a stable occlusal relationship, with no premature contacts or mandibular excursion. 

 

In many cases an occlusal adjustment is effective in minimizing or eliminating headache/migraine pain as well as alleviating some symptoms of TMJ. 

 

The addition of appropriate mouth guards assist in patient relief from discomfort.
