Bite Adjustment in Katy, TX
Are you dealing with jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, or difficulty chewing? You could be suffering from malocclusion—an improper bite where the teeth don’t meet correctly. At Sapphire Family Dentistry in Katy, TX, we offer customized bite adjustments to correct imbalances, protect your teeth, and relieve discomfort—paving the way for better oral health and everyday comfort.
What Is Malocclusion?
A healthy bite allows your teeth to meet harmoniously, like gears in a machine. When teeth don’t align properly, uneven pressure and force can lead to:
- Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
- Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
- Worn, cracked, or broken teeth
- Headaches and facial soreness
- Difficulty biting or chewing
- Mouth breathing during sleep
Malocclusion can result from natural misalignment, dental work that changed your bite (such as a filling or crown), or facial asymmetry.
How Bite Adjustment Treatment Works
At Sapphire Family Dentistry, our skilled team carefully diagnoses and corrects bite imbalances:
- Comprehensive Bite Evaluation
We assess your teeth, jaw, and bite function using articulating paper to identify pressure points. - Precision Adjustments
Using specialized tools, we gently reshape specific tooth surfaces—removing the smallest amount of enamel needed to create a balanced bite. - Comfort-Focused Process
Bite adjustments are typically painless, and in some cases, may require multiple fine-tuning appointments to achieve optimal results.
Benefits of Bite Adjustment
✅ Relieves jaw tension, pain, and headaches
