Fixing Bites
Fixing Bites
Bites—how the upper and lower teeth align—play a crucial role in oral health, function, and appearance. Correcting bite issues can significantly improve these areas. Malocclusions, or misaligned teeth, are common in both primary and permanent teeth and can lead to various oral health concerns. At Citrus Grove Orthodontics, we’re here to help identify and address all types of bite problems for a healthier, more confident smile!
Importance of Correcting Bite Issues
Misaligned bites can significantly impact eating, speaking, and breathing. When the upper and lower jaws don’t align properly, chewing becomes challenging and can strain the jaw muscles, leading to discomfort. Uneven pressure on the teeth may also cause premature wear. Additionally, bite issues can obstruct airflow, affecting speech and breathing. Cleaning the mouth thoroughly is more difficult with misalignment, increasing the risk of severe oral health problems like periodontal disease.
Crowding and Spacing Issues
Overcrowding and spacing occur when teeth are too close or too far apart, often caused by early loss or retention of baby teeth. Braces and clear aligners are common treatments, while options like veneers and dentofacial orthopedics, such as headgear or expanders, can guide teeth and facial bone growth for proper alignment. At Citrus Grove Orthodontics, we’ll help you find the right solution for a healthy, balanced smile!
