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

Affects Daily Life Chewing, speaking, breathing
Can Worsen Problems grow if not treated
Treatable at Any Age Children to seniors

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

Most Common

Overbite

Top front teeth cover the bottom teeth too much. Can cause wear on lower teeth and jaw pain

60% of patients

Underbite

Bottom jaw sits forward and looks ahead of the top jaw. Affects chewing and face shape

15% of cases

Crossbite

Some top teeth sit inside the bottom teeth when you bite. Can cause uneven jaw growth

12% of patients

Open Bite

Top and bottom front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. Makes biting difficult

8% of cases
Needs Assessment

Jaw Asymmetry

One side of the face or jaw is different from the other. Can be from growth or injury

What treatment looks like at different ages

The right time matters. Treatment options and approach change based on your age and jaw growth stage

6-12 Years

Children

Best Time to Start

Bones grow fast in children. We can guide growth with simple devices. Fixing early can avoid bigger treatment later

Goal: Stop bad habits, guide jaw growth, make space for teeth
Tools: Expanders, simple braces, habit therapy
Prevents complex problems in future
13-17 Years

Teenagers

Strong Results

This is a strong time to correct a bite. Bones still change, but teeth can be shifted well with braces or aligners

Goal: Correct jaw and tooth position while growth helps the result
Tools: Braces, clear aligners, functional appliances
Growth helps achieve better outcomes
18-40 Years

Adults

Most Requests

Many adults seek care now. We use clear aligners, braces, implants and sometimes surgery to restore function and look

Goal: Fix bite, restore chewing, reduce pain
Tools: Aligners, braces, splints, implants, or surgery when needed
Never too late to improve function and smile
40+ Years

Older Adults & Seniors

Comfort Focus

Older patients often have missing teeth and joint strain. Treatment focuses on comfort and chewing ability

Goal: Restore function, improve chewing and reduce joint pain
Tools: Implants, crowns, bite rehabilitation, careful planning
Better quality of life at any age

Treatment options — clear choice, pros and cons

Every method has benefits and limits. We explain everything so you can decide what works best for your life

Non-Surgical Options

Braces

Most Reliable
12–24 months

Move teeth reliably. Good for many ages. Traditional metal or ceramic brackets fixed to teeth

Pros
  • Precise control over tooth movement
  • Works for many problems
  • Proven track record
  • Can fix complex cases
Cons
  • Visible on teeth
  • Regular visits needed every 4-6 weeks
  • Food restrictions apply
  • Cleaning takes more time

Splints & Bite Guards

Quick Relief
Immediate use

Used to ease joint pain and reduce grinding. Custom-made guard worn during sleep or stressful times

Pros
  • Quick pain relief
  • Non-invasive
  • Protects teeth from grinding
  • Can start within 1 week
Cons
  • Usually a temporary step
  • Not a full fix for jaw position
  • Needs replacement every 1-2 years
  • Only manages symptoms

Surgical & Advanced Options

Orthognathic Surgery

For Severe Cases
18–30 months total

When jaw bones themselves are the main problem, surgery is often the best long-term choice. We plan with 3D imaging

Pre-surgery braces: 6-12 months
Surgery & recovery: 6-8 weeks
Post-surgery braces: 6-12 months
Pros
  • Fixes large skeletal shifts
  • Improves face shape and chewing
  • Permanent structural correction
  • Can solve breathing issues
Cons
  • Hospital stay needed
  • Higher cost
  • Recovery time 6-8 weeks
  • Requires general anesthesia

Implants & Restorative

Long-Term Fix
3–6 months per implant

Missing teeth often cause jaw changes. Implants restore chewing height and can improve bite without major tooth movement

Implant placement: 1 day surgery
Healing period: 3-4 months
Crown placement: 2-3 weeks
Pros
  • Stable, long-term solution
  • Looks and feels natural
  • Prevents bone loss
  • Restores full chewing function
Cons
  • Needs healthy bone
  • Requires good oral hygiene
  • Higher upfront cost
  • Multiple visits over months

Which option is right for you?

We examine your specific case and suggest 2-3 suitable options. You choose what fits your budget, time and comfort level

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 years
Can Prevent Now

Speech 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

Early treatment prevents these issues and saves time and money

Adults

18-40 years
Act Before It Worsens

Chronic 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

Treating now prevents years of pain and saves money in long run

Older Adults & Seniors

40+ years
Still Treatable

Chewing 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

Age is not a barrier. Treatment improves comfort and function at any stage

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
