When your bite function is flawed, it can create several potential issues. You may not have the ability to comfortably bite and chew, so working through different foods can create stress on your jaw joints. If this pressure continues to mount, you can wind up with persistent pain from TMJ disorder! You may not realize it, but you could be overusing certain teeth when you eat. That can create a potential problem for wear and tear that makes those teeth more likely to experience problems with damage or decay.
Bite troubles are not the only oral health concern linked to malocclusion! If you have teeth that overlap in unnatural and awkward ways, you may have a difficult time cleaning them properly. What this means is that you can have areas of your smile that are prone to plaque and tartar buildup. By fixing this, you can find it easier to protect yourself against cavities and gum disease.
