Malocclusion refers to the misalignment of teeth and jaws, commonly known as a “bad bite.” It can range from minor crowding or spacing to more severe issues such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite. Left untreated, malocclusion can impact chewing, speech, jaw health, and overall facial aesthetics.

At Swiss Dental, we provide thorough evaluations to diagnose and assess the degree of bite misalignment. Using digital X-rays and 3D smile design software, we can accurately map your bite and design a treatment plan that is both effective and personalized. We offer a variety of orthodontic and restorative solutions based on your specific needs.

Common treatments for malocclusion include clear aligners, braces, retainers, or bite adjustment procedures. In more complex cases, we may work with orthodontic specialists or consider surgical options. Our team ensures that every step is explained clearly, so you feel confident and informed throughout your treatment journey.
Correcting bite issues not only enhances appearance but also protects oral health. Malocclusion can lead to uneven tooth wear, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and even increased risk of gum disease due to difficulty cleaning between crowded teeth.

If you suspect you have a bite issue or experience symptoms such as difficulty chewing or jaw discomfort, schedule a consultation at Swiss Dental. We’re committed to helping you achieve a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.
