Bite Evaluation

Got a Poor Bite?

You may have poor bite if you experience any of the following:

  • You clench your jaw muscles for long periods of time
  • When you wake up in the morning, your jaw muscles feel tired and sore to the touch
  • You experience pain behind the eyes
  • You grind your teeth while you are sleeping
  • Your jaw clicks and pops upon opening
  • Your head or scalp feels painful when you touch it
  • Your ears ache or you hear ringing
  • You have neck, shoulder, or back pain
  • You feel dizzy

If you experience any of these symptoms, Dr. Higham and Dr. Sauchelli can evaluate your bite to determine if it is a probably contributing factor. If so, they will recommend an effective plan of treatment.
