The balancing of your teeth and lips result in a beautiful smile and comfortable bite relationship. Orthodontics can provide the facial change that will reduce lip protrusion and inability to close your lips in a relaxed position to correcting severe overbites where the teeth are not visually seen when smiling. Therefore, the overall positioning of your teeth as related to your lips and underlying skeletal jaw bones is important and critical to establishing a harmonious smile. The teeth also must function in harmony with your jaw joints and associated jaw muscles. This proper alignment and function often results in relieving of headaches and jaw pain that can develop later on in life as a result of underlying bad bites. |
