There are various dental procedures with anti-aging benefits. Many people think about teeth whitening or smile makeovers when considering dental treatment to give their smile a youthful appearance. But one treatment option they may overlook is bite correction.

What Is Bite Correction?

There are two main types of bites: A good bite that aligns well and a malocclusion, which is an improper or irregular bite. The latter has to do with the inconsistency of your teeth when the jaws are in the closed position. 

During a dental exam at Tetri’s Smile, our dentists can easily recognize malocclusion and develop a customized treatment plan that will correct your bite issues without any dental surgery involved.

What Are My Options for Bite Correction Dental Services?

There are several options available for bite correction that are non-clinical. One option is to use a dental guard or night guard. If you grind your teeth at night while asleep, eventually, this activity will cause breaking or wearing down of your teeth. Using a nightguard will safely and efficiently protect your teeth from harm and prevent issues with your bite.

Orthodontics is another option if you already have damage caused by misaligned teeth. One popular option is to use an oral appliance, such as retainers or braces. Wearing braces will gradually realign your teeth back to their original bite position.

You can also have your temporomandibular joint repositioned. Doing so can help ensure your teeth come together as they should. If your TM joint is out of position, there will be a malocclusion. The TM joints are hinge and jaw joints that connect the lower section of the jaw mandible to the temporal bones on each side of the head.

Anytime a dentist is implementing bite correction services, they must consider the position of the TM joint. Doing this is essential so there will not be any issues once the bite is corrected. If the upper and lower mandibles fit abnormally, this can lead to stress in the head and neck regions, which can be very painful and distressing. 

Patients who suffer from pain due to a TMJ disorder often have headaches along with discomfort in their neck and back. The pain can interfere with their quality of life and make simple tasks difficult to complete.

At Tetri’s Smile, our dentists will do a thorough exam of your teeth and bite as well as look for any TMD issues before they move forward with the bite correction services.

How Can Bite Correction Promote a Healthy and Youthful Smile?

Correcting your teeth and the inconsistency of malocclusion is an excellent way to improve the signs of aging and leaves you with effective results as noticeable as Botox. Bite correction services can help you have a more youthful appearance by creating an interior support structure for your face. This support in all the right areas assists with regenerating youthfulness naturally without the use of surgery, injections, or chemicals.

Anti-aging dental services can vastly improve the health of the patient while giving them a more youthful appearance. This form of dentistry involves lessening the stress put on TM joints, which helps relax the face muscles. This, in turn, results in fewer wrinkles and improves skin color due to more oxygen getting to the skin thanks to the muscles being more relaxed and less strained. 

Bite correction is considered anti-aging dentistry because it eliminates the cause of early aging in the face while enhancing support for your lips and face. It assists in improving the profit of your face as well as your chin.

At Tetri’s Smile, our anti-aging dental services transpose the bite deepening process that occurs over the years as we age. If left untreated, the bite deepening can cause malocclusion to become worse. 

Deep bites and irregularities can also hinder our speech and cause altering of our facial structure, which has a negative effect on our smile. Malocclusion and poor teeth alignment cause deformities in facial structure.

Patients who visit Tetri’s Smile can undergo state-of-the-art treatment to correct issues with alignment and TM joints. Our expert dentists and staff members use digital technologies available here in our office to improve smiles and decrease the aches and pains associated with malocclusion.
