Misaligned Bite
Bad bite is often responsible for jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, fractured teeth and root canals!
Ever feel like your bite is a little off center? Maybe you have no pain and have no trouble chewing, but your teeth could be wearing unevenly and at an accelerated rate.
Malocclusion or misalignment of a bite is unfavorable placement of teeth within the jaw . Although malocclusion does not affect how you eat it does lead to the accelerated wear on the teeth. Ultimately compromising strength, size and shape of the teeth, leading to decrease in longevity of the teeth. Malocclusion can also be characterized by visual spacing or crowding in your smile, an uneven bite, chipped, cracked or broken teeth resulting from misalignment. It is the main culpit for TMJ disorders and temporal headaches. Misaligned bite does not only affect how you look but also how your facial muscles function.
