What does CBJ mean in DENTAL

A CBJ is a dental tool used to adjust bites and correct malocclusions. It is designed to measure and make precise corrections in the interproximal spaces of the teeth.

CBJs are commonly used by orthodontists, dentists, and dental hygienists.

A CBJ can be used for adjustments of anterior open bites, posterior open bites, crossbites, deep overbite corrections, closed mouth occlusion changes, as well as anterior overjet reductions.

A CBJ should be placed onto the tooth which requires adjustment and then slowly activated until the desired correction has been achieved. It is important to check with your dentist that you have achieved the desired result before using it on other teeth or removing it from the mouth.

When using a CBJ it is essential to wear protective gloves and eye protection. Also make sure that any force applied with the tool is light enough so that you don't apply too much pressure on the patient's tooth or gum tissue that could cause injury or pain.
