Perhaps your front teeth overlap too far, or don’t touch at all. For people in The Maples with a bite concern, an assessment can show whether aligners are a suitable option.
Let's find a time
Straightness and bite are separate things. Teeth may look tidy when you smile yet meet awkwardly when you close, and correcting that takes more thought than lining up the front six. Upper and lower arches have to be planned together.
Aligners can help with certain bite relationships, while others respond more predictably to braces or a combined approach. If you live in The Maples, our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg is where we would examine how your jaws and teeth come together, and explain what that means.

Upper and lower teeth are considered as a working pair throughout the planning process.
How your jaws line up helps determine which corrections are realistic with removable trays.
Small removable bands may connect the arches to help correct a selected bite relationship.
These are common ways of describing a bite. The label matters less than how yours functions, and only an examination can tell you that.
Suitable cases of the following can be considered for aligner treatment, subject to what the dentist finds.
Complex bite work tends to rely on more than plain clear plastic, so be prepared for a few additional components.
Certain bite corrections may be beyond what aligners do predictably. In that case, the dentist can talk with you about braces or a combination of the two.
Because a bite concern involves more than appearance, your assessment and planning go beyond a look at your smile.
Request your visitTell us whether it’s how your teeth look, how they meet when you chew, or uneven wear you’ve spotted.
Teeth, gums and jaw relationships are checked, and a bite assessment is carried out alongside photographs and any appropriate X-rays.
A digital sequence sets out the movements in each arch, including whether elastics or attachments should be added for extra control.
Your fit and tracking are checked as treatment goes on, and we step in if the actual movement drifts from the sequence.
A few days of noticing can give you useful things to tell us. Which teeth touch first? Is one side doing most of the chewing? Do any teeth seem to be wearing down?
It’s reasonable to ask when you request your visit how the assessment’s records are handled and what they may cost, and how your insurance could apply.
Winnipeg North Dental, where your bite is assessed and followed.
Bands and bonded shapes can feel like a lot at first. We can show you how they work and why they are there, so the routine feels less daunting.
Ask to practise placing and removing bands at the clinic if they’re part of your plan.
If something about the way your teeth meet concerns you, give the clinic a call.
Understanding what an attachment or elastic is doing can make it much easier to keep up.
Holding a corrected bite
Once your movements are finished, the emphasis moves from changing your bite to keeping it there. Retainers and possible refinements both play a part.
Your bite might still need small changes near the end of treatment. Updated records may then be used to order refinement trays.
Retainers let the tissues around your teeth adapt to their new positions. Keeping up with them is what helps a corrected bite stay corrected.
Your bite can continue changing as teeth shift over the years, so mention any differences you notice at future dental visits.

Helpful details about invisalign in The Maples.
Ask our teamA suitable overbite may be addressed with aligners, sometimes supported by elastics. Tooth position and jaw relationships both affect whether this is a predictable choice for you.
They’re removable bands connecting upper and lower teeth, used to help correct selected bite relationships. Your instructions will explain how you’re to use them.
You might. Braces give direct control over a broad range of movements, so if yours are less predictable with trays, a combined approach or braces may be recommended.
Appropriate X-rays help reveal what isn’t visible from the outside, such as root support. That information contributes to planning movements that are safe for your teeth.
The trays are gradually repositioning your teeth, so yes, your bite may shift during treatment. If you’re concerned by a change, the clinic is a phone call away.
