★★★★★ West Hills & the San Fernando Valley
When your bite is off, it can strain your jaw and cause discomfort. Here is how orthodontic treatment may help, and when to seek other care.
TMJ and jaw alignment in West Hills is a concern for many patients whose bite does not fit together well. When the upper and lower teeth meet unevenly, it can place extra strain on the jaw joints and muscles, sometimes contributing to discomfort, clicking, or tension.
Your teeth guide how your jaw closes. A misaligned bite, such as a deep overbite, underbite, or crossbite, can make the jaw work harder than it should. Improving how the teeth meet may relieve some of that strain.
Jaw discomfort can have many causes, and orthodontics is not always the answer. At your free consultation we will assess your bite and tell you honestly whether treatment is likely to help or whether another type of care is the better first step.
