What Causes Misaligned Teeth and Bite Problems

Please upload the image.

Misaligned teeth occur when the teeth or jaws do not meet in a balanced position. These concerns can affect the appearance of your smile and may make biting, chewing, speaking, or cleaning between the teeth more difficult. Without proper care, certain alignment problems may contribute to uneven tooth wear and other oral health concerns. Common signs of misalignment include:


  • Crowded, rotated, or overlapping teeth
  • Noticeable spaces between teeth
  • Upper or lower teeth that extend too far forward
  • Teeth that do not meet evenly when biting
  • Difficulty biting or chewing certain foods
  • Uneven wear on the teeth


At Palo Alto Central Dental, our dentists evaluate your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment to better understand your needs. Depending on the type and extent of misalignment, we may recommend Invisalign® clear aligners, another orthodontic approach, or a referral when appropriate
