Should You Fix Your Bite Before Fixing Your Smile?

Yes. Having a correctly aligned bite actually protects your teeth and future dental work. When your bite is misaligned, your teeth work in ways they were not designed for, which can cause wear or damage and compromise dental restorations like bonding, veneers, or crowns. 

That said, some dental treatments, like clear aligners with Invisalign®, can correct both the bite and tooth alignment during treatment. So, some procedures achieve both goals.
