Looking older than you feel

Time can heal all wounds but it makes a lousy beautician.

Nothing gives your age away more than your smile. When a bad bite is thrown into the equation, the wear and tear on your teeth can radically impact the appearance of your face. You will suddenly start to see your lips changing shape. Wrinkles and creases form and deepen on the sides of your nose and mouth. Your lower lip starts to roll out and jowls begin to appear. You hardly recognize the ‘new you’.

A badly aligned jaw creates deterioration of your teeth, causing them to look chipped and worn. You may begin to see areas of gum recession. Your bottom front teeth may begin to shift and look crooked.

Domino effect...

In addition to some obvious cosmetic alterations to your face and teeth, a misaligned jaw contributes to a number of physical changes. When a bite is unbalanced, your muscle tension and activity are unbalanced. This can affect your entire posture.

It starts with a ‘pull’ on your head, which ‘pulls’ your posture, making it look as though you are slouching. The domino effect - is cascading down your entire body - it can influence the positioning of your shoulder and your hips. So much so, that one shoulder or hip is visibly higher than the other.

Are you hiding your mouth or face behind your hands? Showing your face to the world should be something you take great pride in. Taking care of your jaw alignment problems not only improves the function of your mouth, it improves your looks and erases obvious signs of aging. From filling in the gaps to providing you with next steps, the choice is all yours.
