Bite Problems-Terms like underbite, overbite, crossbite and “buck tooth” are words we are familiar with.

Why should a patient worry about malocclusion?  If left untreated, it may lead to TMJ disorder, receding gums, enamel wear and uneven jaw growth. TMJ disorder can cause chronic jaw pain and headaches. Receding gums can cause tooth sensitivity, enamel wear can lead to chips, cracks and breaks in the teeth and uneven jaw growth can lead to unnatural facial appearance. 

If you think you may have any of these issues; make a visit to Wayzata Dental & Smile Spa/Dr. McDowell and learn more about INVISALIGN- a clear alternative to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets or wires.
