Our Bite Can Affect Our Physical Health

12 Apr

Posted by Joseph Coupal


With such an emphasis put on our physical and mental health these days, many people don’t realize the impact on our health that an improper bite has. When you have an improper bite, your entire body can become misaligned. Over 75 million Americans have a misaligned body due to an improper bite.  
 
Everyone wants straight teeth, but an improper bite and misaligned body isn’t actually about straight teeth. How your teeth come together with the muscles and joints of your jaw is what we are referring too when we talk about “your bite”.

All of the muscle and bones in our body have relationships with the others. So, if your jaw is out of line, your entire body is out of line. Just like hip or back pain makes you limp. Overtime, this causes pain in your knees or feet. When your jaw is out of alignment causing an improper bite, the discomfort can start affecting you outside of your face, head and neck.    

By relaxing the muscles of the face and neck areas, we are relieving the symptoms of headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, jaw discomfort and many more go away. This changes our way of life, our stress levels and how we live. Do you want you bite evaluated? Contact Dream Smile Dental.
