Chewing difficulties are most commonly linked with denture wearing. The dentures may not fit properly or may be worn down, which makes it difficult to eat properly. Chewing can also be troublesome if you have teeth missing, or if tooth restorations are not quite right.

All the teeth are present and the bite level is correct.

After extraction of a tooth, the surrounding teeth move into the gap and the opposite tooth grows into the gap too. This disturbs the bite level and will cause TMJ pain.

After the gap has healed a bridge will ensure the correct bite level returns.
