Eventually, the stasis pressure generates energy which can result in the appearance of an abscess of the root (granuloma) on a devitalized tooth.
A dental bite imbalance must be considered a major bottleneck effects which affect the entire posture, through the temporomandibular joint is an important energy hub, with multiple consequences (osteoarticular, back pain, compression of organs, depressive syndrome).
A bridge blocks the micro-movement of natural teeth in their sockets. It generates a dominant transverse compression which sometimes double vertical overload if the bridge is in overbite. Placed on areas of junction of these bones (palatine suture), the bridge leads to a blockage of the cranial bones. An orthodontic arch has the same effect generalized to all teeth of the maxilla.
