Even a barely noticeable misalignment in the teeth can cause aches in the jaw or headaches but it can also impact on general health. Misaligned teeth result in uneven pressure across the chewing surfaces of the teeth which means food may not be fully broken down into manageable pieces when it passes into the stomach.
This can potentially lead to gastrointestinal problems like:
– Bloating
– Gas
– Cramps
Food not digested properly can also “contribute to the development of stomach ulcers” and other intestinal ailments. No matter how insignificant a misaligned bite might seem it should be corrected by the dentist before it worsens and causes medical difficulties.
