Are your teeth worn down due to stress-related grinding or clenching? You are not alone. Many people suffer from a lowered bite due to wear and tear. This not only affects the aesthetics of the mouth and face, but also has a negative impact on the entire body. With your dentist in Berlin Mitte, you are in the best hands if you have a dropped bite: Prof. Dr. Andreas Olze not only combats the symptoms, but can also raise the bite and restore aesthetics and function.

Consequences of a lowered bite

If the vertical distance between the upper and lower jaw base is less than it should be, this is called a dropped bite. This should be corrected as soon as possible, as the consequences are far-reaching. On the one hand, eating behavior is disturbed and the load on the jaw joints changes, which can lead to feelings of pressure, joint pain and tension in the head, neck and shoulder area. In addition to functional effects, the lowered bite can also change the appearance of the face. To rid you of all unpleasant side effects, Prof. Dr. Olze treats you holistically and sustainably at the dental practice in Berlin Mitte. In this way, both the aesthetics and function of your teeth are fully restored.

How does the therapy work?

Your dentist in Berlin Mitte, Prof. Dr. Andreas Olze, first carries out splint therapy before the actual bite lift. In this way, the optimum bite height can be determined and the jaw can get used to the new position. In some cases, for example if it is not yet certain whether all teeth are worth preserving or existing dentures rule out other therapies, long-term temporaries must be used. This more complicated version of the treatment takes up to three months.
If the teeth that will later form the pillars for the restoration solution are not positioned correctly, this problem must first be rectified. This can be done with the invisible Invisalign splints, which are used to move the teeth into the correct position bit by bit to ensure an optimal restoration afterwards. The success of this therapy is clearly visible, as the following case studies by Prof. Dr. Andreas Olze show:

Once the initial situation in the jaw is right, the optimum bite height has been found and the jaw has become accustomed to it, Prof. Dr. Olze will insert the permanent prosthetic restoration. This can consist of inlays, crowns, partial crowns, bridges and veneers. If you are looking for a high-quality and durable permanent solution, Prof. Dr. Olze can make all-ceramic restorations.

Advantages of all-ceramic solutions

All-ceramic restoration solutions have many advantages. The material is very well tolerated and is the ideal solution for allergy sufferers and sensitive people. It is also unbreakable and durable. The material also shines from an aesthetic point of view, as it is precisely matched to your natural tooth color and is therefore almost indistinguishable from your real teeth. Bridges, crowns, inlays and veneers can also be made from ceramic. Your dentist in Berlin Mitte will be happy to advise you further on the advantages of all-ceramics and other materials.

Good aftercare is important!
