Occlusal adjustment is usually performed following orthognathic surgery, implant procedures, or dental prostheses, and these adjustments can be guided precisely by T-Scan analysis. Bite testing using T-Scan allows the evaluation of occlusal contacts prior to making a bite adjustment.

Traumatic occlusion is mostly treated by a procedure called occlusal equilibration in which the chewing and biting surfaces of teeth are grinded to achieve balance and proper alignment. By doing so the pressure on individual teeth is lessened, thereby making them less susceptible to becoming weak or contaminated.
