Treating a misalignment not only improves your smile aesthetically, it can also greatly impact your oral and dental health.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main Issues with Misalignment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A misaligned bite doesn\u2019t just impact the look of your smile; it affects other aspects of your health, causing problems such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Difficulty Speaking<\/strong><br \/>\nA misaligned bite can cause lisps and speech impediments, which can negatively impact self-esteem and social acceptance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chewing Abnormally<\/strong><br \/>\nBite misalignments make it difficult to chew normally. As a result, you inflict strain on your teeth and jaw, which puts them at risk for damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain in the Jaw<\/strong><br \/>\nMisalignment can lead to jaw pain that is so severe it affects your entire face and body. The intensity of this pain can progress into headaches, earaches, and dizziness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tooth Decay and Gum Disease<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause a misaligned bite can make it more difficult to keep your teeth clean when brushing and flossing, you are at greater risk for developing tooth decay, cavities, and gingivitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A misaligned bite can cause many problems. As such, it is important to correct the issue sooner rather than later.
