Lost Canine Guidance
Treatment Image

Please note to replay the treatment image above simply click on the page refresh button or right click on the image and choose play.

Lost Canine Guidance occurs naturally because the long and strong canines withstand the chewing forces when the lower jaw moves from side to side. The top and bottom back teeth do not touch each other.

This protection is lost through wear and tear on the tips of the canines, often from tooth grinding (called bruxism) and allows the top and bottom back teeth to come into contact. This is called “group function”. When any back teeth weakened by fillings they are prone to fracture if the canine protection is lost.

This canine protection can be regained. The simplest method is to add white fillings (composite) to the tips of the worn canines. If the front teeth are crowned then canine guidance can be built into the shape of the crowns.

Your teeth will look like they did before any wear and tear and feel strangely longer initially.

It takes years for the wear and tear to occur, but the treatment can be repeated. Crowns and veneers are expensive but white composite fillings are much cheaper.

Without this treatment the wear and tear will continue and the back teeth may fracture repeatedly.

Canine protected guidance should ensure the back teeth will be safer. There is no special after care, however your teeth should be cleaned as normal.
