Solution to an uneven bite & unattractive smile with Dr Shirley
Understanding Bite Management
Bite management, also known as occlusal management, is the assessment and adjustment of a patient's bite—how their teeth come together. A misaligned bite can lead to various oral health issues, including tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, uneven jaw shape, and even uneven smile. Dr. Shirley emphasized that a stable bite is essential for maintaining overall oral health. Let's take a look at Dr Shirley's video telling us more about it.
Bite Management Treatments
Treatment options for an uneven bite vary based on age and individual dental needs. For younger generations, orthodontic braces present a viable option to correct misalignments and achieve a harmonious bite. However, the older generation might require alternative methods due to missing teeth accumulated over time, leading to a compromised bite. In such cases, dental implants and full mouth restoration offer effective solutions. Dental implants can replace missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics, while full mouth restoration comprehensively addresses multiple dental issues. Below are some examples of these restorative treatments, designed to cater to each patient's unique situation.
