A misaligned jaw, also known as malocclusion, can cause not only aesthetic concerns but also significant health issues, such as difficulty in chewing, chronic jaw pain, headaches, and even sleep disturbances. At Whitey Smile Dental Clinic in Ras Al Khaimah, we specialize in identifying and treating various types of jaw misalignment to restore balance, comfort, and function to your bite.

- Clicking or popping sound when opening your mouth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Uneven smile or facial imbalance
- Frequent headaches or neck pain
- Sleep apnea or snoring
Our team at Whitey Smile is trained to diagnose these symptoms early and offer customized treatment plans to relieve pain and improve alignment.
