Dental Bites Make Dental Health Harder
When you bite down, your teeth are meant to line up. This is the most efficient position for your teeth to bite food and speak. When things don't quite line up, it can lead to some dental issues and make your teeth more difficult to clean and care for. If you have a bite problem, your dentist may identify and try to correct it. These are some of the most common bite issues you should be aware of.
I had braces when I was a kid. Back then, you had to wear those metal wires and rubber bands for what seemed like forever. When I saw that my child’s teeth were going to be crooked like mine, I was dreading the years of braces and orthodontist appointments and limited diets that I saw stretching ahead of us. I was pleased to find out that braces today are very different from braces when I was a kid. They don’t need to be worn for nearly as long, and they aren’t as intrusive, either. My daughter got braces that can barely be seen, and she can remove them when she eats, so she doesn’t have to give up her favorite foods. I was so impressed that I started a blog to talk about modern day tooth straightening techniques. Braces have come a long way.
