"Occlusal Equilibration | Occlusal Adjustments

Selective grinding of occlusal surfaces of the teeth in an effort to eliminate premature contacts and occlusal interferences; to establish optimal masticatory effectiveness, stable occlusal relationships, direction of main occlusal forces, and efficient multidirectional patterns, to improve functional relations and to induce physiologic stimulation of the masticatory system; to eliminate occlusal trauma; to eliminate abnormal muscle tension; to aid in the stabilization of orthodontic results; to treat peridontal and temporomandibular joint problems; and in restorative procedures. "(From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992)

I haven't had it done, and my ortho never mentioned it, and I don't even think it's listed on my insurance list of procedures. I've been "debanded" for almost a month now, and do not anticipate having any grinding done.
