I feel like my upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly when I bite down. Sometimes chewing feels uncomfortable and I notice jaw strain or uneven wear on my teeth. I’m worried this might be a bite alignment problem and want to understand how it’s checked.

Dentists check bite alignment by visually examining how your teeth come together when you bite and chew. They may use bite paper, digital scans, X-rays and impressions to identify misalignment, uneven pressure or jaw issues. At Ashford Dental Center, dentists use modern diagnostic tools and a detailed bite analysis to accurately assess alignment problems and recommend suitable treatments such as braces, aligners or bite adjustments.
