Bite Analysis Treatment at Dental 360 Clinic
At Dental 360 Clinic, we understand that a healthy bite is essential for your overall oral health and comfort. A bite analysis is a crucial diagnostic tool used to examine the way your teeth come together when you close your mouth. Misalignment or improper bite can lead to a range of dental problems, including tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even difficulty chewing.
What Is Bite Analysis?
Bite analysis is a comprehensive assessment of your bite alignment. This procedure evaluates how your teeth and jaws fit together, known as occlusion. The goal is to identify any discrepancies or malocclusions (misalignments) that may affect your ability to bite, chew, or speak properly.
Why Is Bite Analysis Important?
An improper bite, whether due to genetics, injury, or dental issues, can lead to:
- Jaw Pain & Discomfort – Misalignment can cause pain in the jaw joints (TMJ), making it difficult to open and close your mouth.
- Headaches – Constant strain on the jaw muscles due to bite misalignment can trigger frequent headaches.
- Teeth Wear & Erosion – Uneven contact between teeth can cause excessive wear, chipping, or even cracking of your teeth.
- Difficulty Chewing or Speaking – A misaligned bite can interfere with proper chewing and speaking.
- Sleep Disruptions – Conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) or sleep apnea can stem from bite issues, affecting your rest and overall health.
