How A “Bad” Bite Affects Your Smile
At Smile Design Dentistry in Plymouth, MN, we understand your bite’s critical role in dental health, function, and aesthetics. Teeth are meant to align and work together seamlessly, ensuring a harmonious bite and efficient chewing. However, malocclusion—where the upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly—can disrupt this balance, leading to uneven force distribution and other dental issues.
Our team specializes in addressing these challenges through comprehensive bite correction services. By carefully assessing and treating malocclusion, we enhance your bite’s functionality and improve your smile’s appearance.
Our bite correction solutions are tailored to handle a wide range of issues, including those clear aligners can’t fix. They offer a durable, reliable, efficient path to a healthier, more aligned bite. Choose Smile Design Dentistry for a stronger, beautiful smile with our expert bite correction services.
Expertise In Bite Correction
The primary goal of bite correction services at Smile Design Dentistry is to address and rectify malocclusion issues where the upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly. This misalignment can lead to uneven force distribution across the teeth, causing various dental health issues, discomfort, and aesthetic concerns. Our bite correction services aim to treat the root causes of these symptoms, ensuring your teeth align correctly, work in harmony, and distribute biting forces evenly. This not only improves your oral health and functionality but also enhances the aesthetics of your smile.
Treatment To Restore Comfort And Function
At Smile Design Dentistry, our dentists employ various advanced bite correction techniques, informed by our extensive training with Spear Education and The Dawson Academy in functional occlusion. The specific type of treatment chosen depends on the individual’s needs and the complexity of their case.
At Smile Design Dentistry, we leverage our advanced training to offer a variety of bite correction treatments tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Below are the types of treatments we commonly use:
Orthodontic Solutions
Orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and Invisalign® clear aligners, are fundamental to correcting malocclusions by realigning the teeth into their proper positions. These solutions are customized for each patient, focusing on achieving optimal alignment and improving oral health and aesthetics. Invisalign® offers a less visible, more comfortable alternative to metal braces, suitable for patients seeking a discreet treatment option.
Full and partial dentures offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for individuals missing some or all of their teeth. They provide improved oral functionality and support for facial structures. Customized to fit the unique contours of each patient’s mouth, dentures restore the ability to chew and speak confidently while enhancing the smile’s overall appearance.
Dental Restorations
Cosmetic dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers play a critical role in bite correction by altering teeth’ shape, size, and alignment. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring functionality while enhancing your smile’s overall appearance. They are instrumental in cases where teeth have been worn down or damaged due to malocclusion.
Occlusal Adjustments
Occlusal adjustment involves the precise reshaping of the biting surfaces of the teeth to improve the way the upper and lower teeth come together. This treatment can significantly reduce or eliminate the discomfort associated with a misaligned bite and prevent excessive wear on the teeth. It’s a conservative approach that can substantially affect a patient’s comfort and oral health.
Benefiting From A Harmonious Bite
Bite correction at Smile Design Dentistry offers a wide array of advantages, ensuring that patients achieve a beautiful smile and enjoy improved oral health and functionality. The benefits include:
- Reduced Risk of Tooth Wear and Damage: Proper alignment minimizes uneven stress on teeth, preventing premature wear and fractures.

- Improved Chewing and Speaking Abilities: An aligned bite enhances chewing efficiency and clarity of speech, contributing to better oral function.
