8 years ago I had 8 porcelain veneers placed on my top front teeth.About 6 years ago I started with jaw pain and headaches daily. I constantly grind and clench my teeth. I have been to specialist after specialist and found no relief or answers. Thank you for you time!

Answer: Misaligned jaw due to veneers Thank you for posting your question. It is possible that the veneers get in the way of your bite and cause your jaw to shift. However, it is also possible that you had an undiagnosed bite issue prior to the veneers. Do you have any clicking or popping in your joint? The only way to know what is going on in your bite is to have a full evaluation with diagnostic casts. Find a Pankey trained dentist in your area. Hope this helps.

Answer: Jaw misalignment due to veneers Hi:The bite on the veneers can have an effect on the jaw. However, it is unlikely for the veneers to be effecting your jaw. My main concern is the clenching and the grinding might be effecting your bite and the position of your teeth. Make sure you are wearing a properly adjusted night guard every night.Best,Dr. Maddahi
