Misaligned Teeth
Misaligned teeth, or malocclusion, occur when teeth do not fit together properly when the jaws are closed. This common condition can affect both your smile’s appearance and your oral health. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers effective solutions to correct alignment and improve comfort.
Malocclusion can range from mild to severe, impacting both function and aesthetics, and often requires professional evaluation to determine the best course of treatment.
Signs and Symptoms
Recognizing the signs of malocclusion early can help prevent discomfort, dental damage, and long-term oral health issues.
Treatment plans are personalized to your unique needs and goals
Common Causes
Malocclusion can develop due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While some cases are inherited, others result from habits or injuries that affect jaw growth and tooth positioning. Identifying the underlying cause is key to choosing the most effective treatment approach
- Genetics: Inherited jaw size or tooth alignment.
- Childhood habits: Thumb-sucking, prolonged pacifier use, or mouth breathing.
- Jaw injuries or abnormal tooth development.
Diagnostic Methods
Accurate diagnosis is essential for creating a personalized treatment plan that improves both function and comfort. To create a tailored treatment plan, we use advanced tools to assess your alignment and jaw function:
- Clinical Examination: Visual inspection of teeth, bite, and jaw alignment.
- Dental X-rays/3D Imaging: Reveal bone structure, tooth roots, and hidden issues.
- Digital Impressions: Create precise 3D models of your teeth for analysis.
- Condylography: A specialized method to track jaw movement and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. This painless test maps how your jaw opens, closes, and shifts, helping identify joint irregularities linked to malocclusion.
- Bite Analysis: Evaluates how upper and lower teeth meet during chewing and resting.
