What Can a Bad Bite Affect

How a Bad Bite Affects Your Health

The negative influence of dental-maxillary system defects on the health of the entire body has been repeatedly proven by researchers. The list of identified health risks is truly impressive.

Dental Problems

• Due to incorrect distribution of chewing load, enamel wears faster; teeth react painfully to cold and heat; tooth necks become exposed; visible gaps appear between teeth.
• Crowding and curved tooth positioning cause accelerated destruction due to frequent chips and cavities.

Joint and Muscle Problems

• Temporomandibular joint diseases appear, accompanied by headaches and characteristic clicking when moving the jaws.

Aesthetic and Facial Problems

• Facial proportions change, wrinkles appear, dental arches curve, and the smile becomes unattractive.

Digestive and Respiratory Problems

• Biting food becomes difficult, chewing functions are disrupted — leading to gastrointestinal diseases.
• Breathing quality deteriorates, leading to diseases of the nasopharynx, trachea and hearing apparatus.

Speech and Psychological Problems

• Speech defects appear, facial expressions become distorted, self-esteem decreases.
• The oral mucosa — cheeks, gums, tongue — becomes traumatized and inflammation develops.
