Occlusion is the alignment of your teeth, and when there is
not proper alignment it is called malocclusion. When the alignment of your jaw
is off, it can cause your teeth to hit on the wrong spot when you close your
mouth or when you are consuming food. While your malocclusion may be minor and
not impact you most of the time, any alignment problems can lead eventually to
pain and problems with broken, cracked teeth and jaw or face pain. Constant
pressure in the wrong spot can lead to a variety of problems including a need
for major dental repairs.
You will want to catch this issue before it causes other
problems to your teeth. A simple check with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team can
help determine how much of a problem your malocclusion is and how she can help
to provide you with a pain free smile.
There are a variety of causes of malocclusion, it may
include childhood habits, extra teeth, dental fillings that are not proper
fitting, jaw fractures or even tumors of the mouth.

from proper alignment, contact Dr. Strutz and her team today.
