Malocclusion or bite issues can range from mild to severe problems. Mild cases may not cause extreme pain but Dr. Strutz and her team encourage you to have the problem looked at even if you do not think it is a problem as over time this can be impact your daily life.

Malocclusion is common and severe cases can lead to malnutrition, choking or unhappiness as you live in constant pain consuming foods that do not bother your jaw instead of enjoying the foods you love. Teeth that are not aligned correctly can also lead to problems with decay as they are more difficult to clean than properly aligned teeth.

Dr. Judy Strutz and her team encourage you to schedule a consultation if you have any of these symptoms, or if you have jaw pain.
