Bite adjustment or stabilization

When there is an isolated gum line or bone problem, sometimes this has occurred because this tooth has been traumatized by a bad bite. That tooth can be adjusted and the problem may get better. When multiple teeth are involved, all the teeth may benefit by an adjustment. If the trauma can be determined to be clenching or grinding of the teeth, a nightguard may be the answer. Finally, if you have a small number of teeth that are very loose but do not have deep pockets, it may be possible to wire (stabilize) them together for added support.
