A misaligned bite can create many nagging symptoms, such as headaches, impaired oral function, pain in the face and neck, and bruxism, which is grinding and clenching teeth. Bruxism can lead to serious tooth wear, which compromises tooth structure and a comfortable bite. A downward spiral ensues. We can help some patients find relief through oral splint therapy and/or building up teeth to correct bite position. Our sister practice, Smiles by Bis, focuses on neuromuscular dentistry, so we often refer advanced cases.
