Expert Jaw & Bite Irregularity Treatment in Houston

Are you experiencing discomfort, difficulty chewing, or self-consciousness due to misaligned teeth or an improper bite? At Astra Orthodontics in Houston, we specialize in correcting jaw and bite irregularities to enhance both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Beyond just straight teeth, proper bite alignment is crucial for your overall oral health and facial harmony.

Types of Jaw & Bite Irregularities

Malocclusion, or an improper bite, can manifest in various ways. Our expert team accurately diagnoses and treats a full spectrum of conditions, including:

Overbite (Deep Bite): When the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower front teeth.
Underbite: When the lower front teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth.
Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. This can affect front or back teeth.
Open Bite: When the upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed, creating an opening.
Crowding & Spacing: While often related to tooth alignment, these can also contribute to bite issues.

Why Treat Jaw & Bite Issues?

Ignoring jaw and bite irregularities can lead to a range of problems over time. Correcting these issues offers significant benefits:

Improved Chewing & Digestion: Proper bite allows for efficient chewing of food.
Enhanced Speech: Certain bite issues can affect pronunciation.
Reduced Tooth Wear: Misaligned bites can cause excessive wear on specific teeth.
Alleviation of TMJ Pain: Proper alignment can reduce strain on the temporomandibular joints, preventing or relieving TMJ pain and orofacial discomfort.
Better Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Boosted Confidence: A harmonious smile significantly improves self-esteem.
Improved Facial Aesthetics: Correcting jaw alignment can enhance facial balance and profile.

Treatment Options

Depending on the severity and type of your jaw or bite irregularity, we offer a range of effective orthodontic solutions:

Fixed Braces: Traditional and advanced braces are highly effective for complex bite corrections, providing precise control over tooth and jaw movement.
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign): For many cases, clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable option for bite correction, especially for adults and teenagers.
Orthodontic Appliances: In some cases, specialized appliances (such as palatal expanders, headgear, or functional appliances) may be used, often in conjunction with braces or aligners, to guide jaw growth or modify bite relationships.
Interceptive Orthodontics (for Children): Early diagnosis and intervention in children can often prevent more severe jaw issues from developing, making future treatment simpler.

When to Seek Treatment?

It’s never too late to address jaw and bite irregularities. While early intervention in children can be highly beneficial for guiding jaw development, adults can also achieve remarkable results. If you notice any signs of malocclusion, discomfort, or simply desire a more aligned and functional bite, we encourage you to schedule a consultation.
