Dental Services that Can Address Bite Problems
Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers can address cosmetic and functional concerns like bite problems. By correcting these bite problems, dentists can help patients achieve a healthier and more pleasing smile.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a form of orthodontic treatment that allows gradual shifting of the position of teeth using removable plastic aligners. It can effectively treat a wide range of dental issues, including bite problems.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions may be needed to address bite problems if the cause is insufficient space for the teeth. Extraction can create more space to allow teeth repositioning.

Bite Problems
What are the signs of a bite problem?
There are a few signs that may indicate you have a bite problem.
- Uneven bite: When the teeth do not come together correctly when you bite, this may cause difficulty in chewing and jaw pain.
- Grinding or clenching: These can exert excessive pressure on your jaw and cause Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) pain, headaches, and even neck and shoulder pain.
- Worn-down teeth: You may notice that your teeth are starting to have a flatter appearance due to the constant grinding.
- Tooth sensitivity: Teeth with worn-down enamel can be sensitive to hot and cold.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you must see a dentist for an evaluation. With proper treatment, bite problems can be corrected and the symptoms alleviated.
