When should you see an orthodontist for biting the cheek or into the roof of your mouth?
If you find yourself biting into your cheek when talking, eating, or being active, it may indicate jaw misalignment or a posterior crossbite. This is something you can be born with or it can develop over time. Biting into the roof of the mouth can indicate that the lower jaw is too short relative to the upper jaw or that a deep bite is present.
An orthodontist will be able to recognize misalignments that can lead to cheek biting and biting into the roof of the mouth. They can provide you with a custom treatment option to address this and other orthodontic problems.
