Why does my bite feel different from a few years ago?+
Missing teeth, drifting, wear and restorations placed over time can all change how the jaws meet. An examination with bite records can show which factors apply.
Can one high filling throw off my whole bite?+
A single restoration that sits high can make your bite feel uneven. Whether it explains everything you notice depends on the rest of the examination.
Is an uneven bite harmful?+
It can concentrate force on certain teeth or restorations, which may contribute to wear or fractures. The dentist can explain what your particular pattern means.
Will correcting my bite involve all my teeth?+
Not always. Some bites need limited adjustment, while others call for more widespread restoration. The extent is decided after assessment.
Can my jaw ache be related to how my teeth fit?+
It may be connected, but jaw discomfort can have various causes. Mention it, and the dentist will consider it alongside the bite findings.
