Functional Orthodontics for All Ages

Clear Lake Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontics

Constant muscles forces are powerful and can move teeth. A bad bite, poor head posture, restricted airway, tongue habits and other factors may cause muscle forces that adversely affect the occlusion (bite). Not only may these forces paly a role in causing crooked teeth or an improper bite, but failure to deal with them in orthodontic treatment may lead to premature relapse of the straightened teeth. In younger patients, abnormal muscle forces can have a serious effect on facial development. It is our goal at Cosmetic Smile Designs to not only starighten teeth, but improve facial profile, balance the bite, and improve TMJ function.
