Having trouble chewing, biting, or speaking? Do you constantly bite your lips, cheeks, or even chip your teeth against your other teeth? In a perfect world, everyone’s bite would be perfectly aligned with the top row resting slightly in front of the bottom. However, most people’s bites are a little off and even the slightest of bite misalignments can cause issues.

At Journal Square Dental, we understand the critical role a proper bite plays in your overall oral health and comfort. With over 25 years of dedicated service, our team employs the latest techniques and technology to address bite misalignments that can cause discomfort and long-term oral health issues. No matter what you’re experiencing, our expert team is here to ensure your smile is not just beautiful but also functionally sound.
Recognizing the need for a bite adjustment is crucial for maintaining oral health. Common signs you may be in need of a bite adjustment or other type of alignment procedure include persistent jaw pain, uneven wear on teeth, sensitivity when using a straw, chipped teeth, and difficulty in chewing or biting. These symptoms can stem from misaligned teeth or jaw issues, leading to discomfort and functional problems.
When it comes to misaligned teeth, there are two main types: underbites and overbites. Underbites see the lower teeth extending past the upper when resting naturally. Overbites are caused by the upper teeth extending past the lower.
The impact of these symptoms on daily life can be significant. Jaw pain can lead to headaches and discomfort during eating or speaking. Uneven wear on teeth can also change the appearance of your smile, potentially leading to self-consciousness. Also, difficulty in chewing can impact nutritional intake and overall enjoyment of food. Addressing these issues through bite adjustment can greatly improve both oral health, the way you speak, and your overall quality of life.
Bite adjustment treatment involves precise dental procedures to correct misalignment of the teeth and jaw. When your dentist suggests a bite adjustment as a solution to your aches, pains, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetics of your smile, you can expect the following steps to occur:
We will begin the process with a thorough examination of your current situation. If you have come in due to aches, pains, or other specific concerns, we will discuss this with you at great length before conducting an examination. We can test your bite using our state-of-the-art facility and equipment to see if it is a misalignment issue. Once your condition or the source of your problems has been identified, we will devise a unique plan of treatment.
Techniques for your bite adjustment may include reshaping the biting surfaces of teeth, orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign, or constructing custom dental appliances. These methods are tailored to each patient’s specific condition, ensuring the bite is properly aligned for optimal function and comfort. At Journal Square Dental, we are proud to offer an array of options for your specific goals and budget.
The recovery process after a bite adjustment varies based on the treatment method used. Patients typically experience immediate relief from symptoms like jaw pain. Follow-up care is essential to ensure the adjustment remains effective, and dentists may provide guidelines for maintaining oral health, such as specific brushing techniques or dietary recommendations. Regular dental check-ups are crucial to monitor the adjustment and address any further needs.
We can help you maintain your teeth and ensure your bite remains where it should by meeting with you on a regular basis to make sure your treatment and teeth are still looking good.
