Optimizing Your Bite
One of the most important parts of long-lasting dental work is making sure your bite is properly balanced.
​
If the teeth aren’t in the right position, even high-quality fillings or crowns can wear down, loosen, or break over time.
​
Think of it like building a house—you wouldn’t install cabinets before making sure the foundation is solid. Your bite is that foundation.
​When your teeth come together correctly, the forces of chewing are spread out evenly. This helps protect your teeth, fillings, crowns, and implants.

Mission
Having forces distributed evenly is crucial to long-term dental health. If the bite isn’t balanced, certain teeth can take too much pressure, which increases the risk of fractures or damage over time.
​
That’s why, before completing major dental work—especially implants—we make sure the teeth are in the right position. Once an implant is placed, it is difficult to be moved, so getting the bite right first is critical.
​
Establishing a healthy bite helps ensure your dental work lasts as long as possible.
Vision
This is where clear aligners come into play. These custom-made, transparent trays are designed to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions through a series of carefully planned adjustments.
​
As teeth shift into proper alignment, they are able to function more efficiently and distribute biting forces more evenly. Proper alignment not only enhances appearance but also plays a critical role in long-term dental health.
​
When the bite is balanced, there is less unnecessary stress placed on individual teeth. This helps minimize excessive wear, reduce the risk of fractures, and protect existing dental restorations from premature breakdown.
​
Clear aligner therapy is a conservative and effective way to improve both the function and longevity of your smile.
We proudly offer advanced clear aligner solutions, including AirFlex™ by OrthoFX — the first FDA-cleared aligner system designed for just 12 hours of continuous daily wear, conveniently completed overnight. Unlike many traditional clear aligner systems that require 20–22 hours of wear per day, AirFlex™ provides greater flexibility without compromising treatment effectiveness.
​
In addition to AirFlex™, we offer other clear aligner options to accommodate different orthodontic needs and lifestyles. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and recommend the aligner system best suited for you.
