If you clench or grind
Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Meadows West Residents
Strong biting forces do not automatically close the door on cosmetic work, but they should shape the plan. Raise them early at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time

Force on fine edges
Pressure changes which materials make sense.
Thin additions at the biting edge take a lot of load when teeth clench together or meet end to end. That overload is one reason bonded resin can chip and a veneer can come loose. Mentioning the habit beforehand lets the dentist design around it instead of discovering it later.
An unstable bite may even point to a different plan altogether. Meadows West is in Winnipeg, and residents can have these forces reviewed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, where function is considered along with appearance.

Edges take the load
Any new shape has to clear biting forces or share them properly, or it may not last as you would hope.
A guard may be raised
If clenching looks likely to overload thin resin, a protective guard could become part of the discussion.
Position can matter too
Some bite relationships respond to moving teeth, which treats a different problem than covering them.

Looking at function first
Show us how your teeth take the strain.
You may not know for sure that you grind. Flattened edges and sore spots are both fair things to bring up.
Request your visit- 01
Mention what you have noticed
When you contact the clinic, a short description is enough. Worn edges, chips or waking with tight jaw muscles all count as useful hints.
- 02
Get your contacts evaluated
Tooth wear, enamel, existing restorations and the way your upper and lower teeth meet are examined before cosmetic ideas go any further.
- 03
Decide with durability in view
You compare what each treatment would ask of your bite and what maintenance it may bring, then choose whether to go ahead.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Meadows West.
Ask our teamDoes grinding rule out veneers?
Not necessarily, but it is a factor. Grinding influences chipping and debonding, and a bite that cannot protect the edge might steer you toward something other than a veneer.
Is resin too fragile if I clench?
Thin composite additions are vulnerable under those forces. The size of the repair and how your teeth contact each other help the dentist decide if it is sensible.
Would I have to wear something at night?
A guard may come up in conversation when bonded edges are at risk. Whether it applies to you depends on what the examination finds.
Can straightening help how my teeth share force?
Suitable overbites, open bites and crossbites may be addressed with aligners, while other cases are more predictable with braces. Nobody should assume this without a full assessment of bite and jaw relationships.
My edges look flat. Can contouring even them out?
Small length differences can sometimes be balanced, though taking more away from a tooth that is already worn may not be wise. Added material might serve you better.
Do I tell you about grinding if I am only asking about colour?
Please do. Whitening itself does not address bite forces, but any future resin or porcelain matched to your new shade would have to live with them.
Should someone in Meadows West call about a sudden crack?
Yes, ring (204) 338-3003 instead of using the form. A new fracture needs a conversation, and an online message may not be read straight away.
