Doylestown Bite Correction

Bite Correction

Teeth are always in a constant state of movement and wear. The importance of bite correction is an often under-emphasized aspect of oral health. In reality, a poor bite (also called malocclusion) can lead to numerous dental conditions such as:

  • Tooth cracks, chips & enamel wear
  • Gum (Periodontal) Disease
  • Cavities
  • Difficulty maintaining proper oral hygiene
  • Tooth movement & misalignment
  • Tooth pain

Success Stories

migraines & malocclusion

A woman originally came to us after falling and injuring her teeth on a sidewalk. She attributed the fall to the use of painkillers prescribed to control chronic jaw pain and migraine headaches. After addressing the acute issue, we talked about her overall oral health and specifically—how years of migraines could be a symptom of her poor bite (malocclusion). Dr. Bash and the patient agreed to perform a simple bite correction procedure. Since correcting her bite, the patient no longer suffers from pain and headaches. As a result, she no longer requires the use of painkillers.
