Bite Correction: Restoring Your Smile and Function
Bite correction is an essential dental treatment that can address both cosmetic and functional issues with your bite. Whether you are dealing with a misalignment due to trauma or seeking a cosmetic solution for a more harmonious smile, our team offers personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
What is Bite Correction?
Bite correction is a dental procedure aimed at improving the alignment of the teeth and jaws. A misaligned bite can cause a variety of problems, from difficulty chewing to jaw pain and uneven wear on your teeth. Whether the misalignment is due to genetics, trauma, or wear and tear, we offer solutions that restore proper bite function and aesthetics.
Types of Bite Issues
There are various types of bite issues that may require correction. Some common bite problems include:
- Overbite: When the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth.
- Underbite: When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
- Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite on the inside of the lower teeth, leading to uneven wear and potential jaw pain.
- Open Bite: When there is a gap between the upper and lower teeth when biting down, making it difficult to chew.
- Misaligned Teeth: Crooked or crowded teeth that affect the overall bite alignment and appearance.
Cosmetic Bite Correction
Cosmetic bite correction focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. It involves making adjustments to the positioning of the teeth to enhance the aesthetics while also ensuring that your bite remains functional. Common cosmetic solutions include:
- Veneers: Thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are placed over the front of the teeth to improve their shape, size, and alignment.
- Bonding: A tooth-colored resin applied to teeth to improve their shape, close gaps, and align teeth.
- Orthodontics: Braces or clear aligners to gradually shift the teeth into better alignment.
Bite Correction for Trauma Cases
Trauma to the teeth or jaw can result in significant bite problems, including misalignment, chipped or broken teeth, and jaw dysfunction. In such cases, bite correction treatment involves restoring the affected teeth and improving the overall bite. Our approach to trauma-related bite correction may include:
- Dental Implants: If a tooth is lost due to trauma, dental implants can restore the functionality and appearance of the smile.
- Crowns and Bridges: These can be used to restore damaged or missing teeth, ensuring proper alignment and function.
- Jaw Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be needed to correct jaw misalignment caused by trauma.
- Orthodontics: Braces or aligners may be used to shift teeth back into their proper positions after trauma.
