Understanding Edge-to-Edge Bite

An edge-to-edge bite occurs when the upper front teeth and lower front teeth meet each other directly on their edges, rather than overlapping slightly. This type of bite misalignment can lead to various dental issues, including tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and decreased chewing efficiency. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we specialize in correcting edge-to-edge bites to restore proper dental alignment and function.

Our Edge-to-Edge Bite Correction Solutions

Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or clear aligners may be recommended to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment, correcting the edge-to-edge bite and improving overall bite function.
Dental Restorations: In some cases, dental restorations such as crowns or veneers may be used to reshape the teeth and create a more harmonious bite relationship.
Occlusal Adjustments: The biting surfaces of the teeth may be carefully reshaped to promote proper alignment and function, improving the bite relationship and reducing excessive wear.
Night Guards: For patients experiencing bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort associated with edge-to-edge bite, custom night guards can help protect the teeth and alleviate symptoms.

Benefits of Edge-to-Edge Bite Correction

Improved Bite Function: Correcting edge-to-edge bite enhances the way your teeth come together, promoting more efficient chewing and speaking.
Prevention of Tooth Wear: By addressing misalignment, edge-to-edge bite correction helps prevent excessive wear and damage to the teeth.
Reduced Jaw Discomfort: Proper bite alignment reduces strain on the jaw muscles and joints, alleviating discomfort associated with TMJ disorders.
