An aligned bite matters because it affects the outcome of all other dental procedures. If you have misaligned teeth, you can develop cavities and jaw problems more easily. So, to ensure you have a healthy mouth, we have to work on a triad of factors that help you realign your teeth.
The teeth, temporomandibular jaw joints, and mouth muscles all contribute to occlusion, or an aligned bite. Unlike traditional dentists, who only focus on the teeth, we focus on all three factors through neuromuscular dentistry. This means we have gone beyond traditional dental education to ensure our neighbors in St. Peters, MO and surrounding areas develop and maintain a truly aligned bite.
As your neuromuscular family dentist, weve studied and practiced advanced oral techniques. So, no matter your age, and no matter your mouth muscle or joint status, we can help you achieve the ideal bite and help you have a healthier mouth for years to come. And we can treat even the most complex cases.
When you choose a family dentist in OFallon, MO, you have to make sure you choose an office thats compatible with your household. We invite you to get to know us and our techniques better by calling636-978-0226today. Our staff will be happy to give you a tour and answer your questions.
