What Is a Misaligned Bite?

A misaligned bite, also known as malocclusion, occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly when the mouth is closed. This condition can range from minor to severe and may contribute to dental problems, jaw pain, and even speech difficulties if left untreated.

Common Types of Bite Misalignment:

  • Overbite: The upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth.
  • Underbite: The lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
  • Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth do not align properly when biting.
  • Open Bite: Front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed.
  • Crowding or Spacing Issues: Teeth are too close together or have noticeable gaps.

Symptoms of a Misaligned Bite:

  • Jaw pain or discomfort
  • Difficulty chewing or biting food
  • Frequent headaches or earaches
  • Uneven tooth wear or chipping
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw (TMJ disorder)

How Grosso Family Dentistry Treats a Misaligned Bite

We take a patient-centered approach to diagnosing and treating bite misalignment, offering a range of effective solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Using state-of-the-art technology, including digital scans and X-rays, we perform a thorough evaluation of your bite and jaw alignment. This allows us to create a precise and customized treatment plan.

Depending on the severity of your bite issue, we offer various orthodontic treatments to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. These may include:

  • Clear Aligners (Invisalign®): A discreet and comfortable alternative to braces for mild to moderate misalignment.
  • Traditional Braces: Effective for more complex bite issues, braces gradually realign teeth for optimal function.

For patients with minor bite misalignment, we may recommend bite adjustments through reshaping the teeth or using dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or veneers to correct the bite.

If your misaligned bite is causing jaw pain or TMJ issues, we offer customized treatment options, including mouthguards, physical therapy referrals, and bite realignment techniques to relieve discomfort.

Regular dental checkups, monitoring, and professional cleanings help maintain your bite alignment and prevent future issues. We also provide guidance on proper oral habits to support long-term dental health.
