If your teeth feel crooked, you may have a bite problem or malocclusion.
The way your teeth fit together indicates your bite. A normal bite is characterized by a good position of the upper teeth in relation to the lower teeth. A “malocclusion” is a poor relationship between the teeth, which can lead to problems with aesthetics, meshing between the upper and lower teeth, and difficulty brushing, among other things. Treatment options vary depending on your type of malocclusion and its severity.
Orthodontic treatment can be done with fixed braces (braces) or, most often, with clear aligners.
To correct a malocclusion, an increasing number of patients prefer aligners to conventional braces because of the following advantages:
- Almost invisible appliances
- No dietary restrictions
- No obstruction to flossing or brushing
