Crooked Teeth correction Service in CTM

Crooked teeth often come with a bite that does not work as well as it should. The upper and lower teeth may not meet evenly, or some teeth may take more pressure than others. For patients from CTM, understanding this link can explain why chewing feels uneven or why certain teeth wear down.

Poor jaw alignment, known as malocclusion, is one of the recognised causes of crooked teeth. At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, orthodontist Dr. Tanisha Kkeswani looks at the whole bite, not just how the front teeth look.

How Crooked Teeth Affect the Bite for CTM Patients

When teeth are out of line, the way they fit together changes. Some teeth may touch too early, while others barely meet. Chewing may shift to one side, and certain sounds can feel harder to make. Over the years, uneven contact can also lead to uneven wear on the biting surfaces.

Common Bite Problems Seen in CTM Patients

• Upper teeth sticking out: The front teeth sit well ahead of the lower teeth.
• Front teeth not meeting: A gap remains even when the back teeth close together.
• Lower teeth ahead: The lower front teeth close in front of the upper ones.
• Crossed teeth: Some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth instead of outside.

Assessing and Correcting the Bite for CTM Residents

An orthodontic evaluation includes measurements, X-rays and photographs, which show how the jaws and teeth relate to each other. Dr. Tanisha uses these to prepare a personalised plan. Depending on the findings, correction may involve fixed braces or removable appliances. A better bite can make chewing and speaking more comfortable. Read about our dental X-ray service and braces for more detail.

Bite problems can have more than one cause. Crowding from a small jaw, childhood habits, genetics and early tooth loss can all play a part, alongside the way the jaws themselves line up. Understanding the cause helps the orthodontist decide how the teeth should be moved and which appliance fits the plan. If you have noticed that some teeth are wearing down or that you chew on one side, mention it during the consultation.
