The way your teeth align can have a significant impact on your smile. But an uneven bite is more than a cosmetic imperfection — it can also cause problems like jaw pain, speech issues and gum disease. At Nicolas Orthodontics, we provide bite correction appliances to fix teeth and alleviate the pain of an improper bite.
A bite corrector is an orthodontic device that aligns the lower and upper jaws. It is an alternative appliance to rubber bands and headgear to improve teeth alignment, eliminate excessive overbites and prevent the need for jaw surgery.
Bite correction appliances are most often used to fix overbites in young patients, but they can sometimes be used on adults.
