Jaw Alignment Treatment Gurgaon
Clear, simple answers about why jaw moves out of place, what can be done, and what to expect at each age. Practical steps and real choices from our Gurgaon clinics
Overview — what jaw alignment means
Jaw alignment means the upper and lower jaws and teeth meet in a way that lets you bite, chew, speak and sleep without pain. When the jaws do not fit well, it can cause ache, worn teeth, clicking, and trouble chewing
Why Jaw Mis-alignment Happens?
There are many reasons the jaw becomes misaligned. Some start early in life. Others happen slowly because of missing teeth, grinding, or injury. We check all of these to find the main cause
Family History
Jaw shape is often inherited. If parents had jaw problems, children may face similar issues
Childhood Habits
Thumb sucking, long bottle use, or tongue posture can change jaw growth in early years
Breathing Pattern
Mouth breathing in kids can change jaw shape over time and affect facial development
Missing Teeth
Early tooth loss or missing teeth causes the bite to collapse and shift in adults
Teeth Grinding
Bruxism wears teeth and can change the bite over months and years of pressure
Injury or Trauma
Hits to the face or chin from accidents or sports can shift the jaw position suddenly
Types of bite problems
Each type needs different approach. Understanding your specific condition helps us plan better treatment
Overbite
Top front teeth cover the bottom teeth too much. Can cause wear on lower teeth and jaw pain
Underbite
Bottom jaw sits forward and looks ahead of the top jaw. Affects chewing and face shape
Crossbite
Some top teeth sit inside the bottom teeth when you bite. Can cause uneven jaw growth
Open Bite
Top and bottom front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. Makes biting difficult
Jaw Asymmetry
One side of the face or jaw is different from the other. Can be from growth or injury
Not sure which type you have?
We will examine and explain your specific condition in simple terms during consultation
What treatment looks like at different ages
The right time matters. Treatment options and approach change based on your age and jaw growth stage
Children
Best Time to StartBones grow fast in children. We can guide growth with simple devices. Fixing early can avoid bigger treatment later
Teenagers
Strong ResultsThis is a strong time to correct a bite. Bones still change, but teeth can be shifted well with braces or aligners
Adults
Most RequestsMany adults seek care now. We use clear aligners, braces, implants and sometimes surgery to restore function and look
Older Adults & Seniors
Comfort FocusOlder patients often have missing teeth and joint strain. Treatment focuses on comfort and chewing ability
What can happen if a bite problem is left alone
Problems do not stay the same. They grow over time. Issues vary by age but often get worse and become harder to fix
Children & Teens
6-17 yearsSpeech Difficulties
Trouble saying certain sounds clearly. May affect confidence at school
Face Shape Changes
Jaw grows in wrong direction. Changes become permanent after growth stops
More Complex Correction Later
Simple cases become difficult. May need surgery if not treated early
Breathing Problems
Narrow jaw reduces airway. Can lead to mouth breathing and sleep issues
Adults
18-40 yearsChronic Pain
Jaw joint pain, headaches, neck ache. Pain becomes daily part of life
Severe Tooth Wear
Teeth grind down. May need crowns or root canals to save teeth
Joint Trouble (TMJ)
Clicking, popping, locking jaw. Eating becomes difficult and painful
Bite Collapse
Missing teeth cause other teeth to shift. Bite becomes worse over years
Higher Treatment Cost
Complex problems need more work. Treatment takes longer and costs more
Older Adults & Seniors
40+ yearsChewing Becomes Hard
Can only eat soft food. Affects nutrition and enjoyment of meals
Advanced Joint Wear
Jaw joints show arthritis. Pain limits opening mouth wide
Poor Nutrition
Cannot chew healthy food well. Overall health suffers from poor diet
Bone Loss
Missing teeth cause jaw bone to shrink. Makes implants more difficult
Reduced Quality of Life
Pain, eating difficulty, social withdrawal. Daily life becomes harder
The sooner you act, the better the outcome
Small problems fixed early stay small. Waiting makes everything harder, longer, and more expensive. We have seen this pattern hundreds of times
