Problems we can help you with:
Underbite
An underbite is characterized by the lower jaw extending too far out, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth. This incorrect bite results in an improper use of the lower jaws and sometimes brings about facial asymmetry.
Protrusion
The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite. It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
Overbite
The upper front teeth extend too far out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth. Problems often associated with an overbite include a "gummy" smile, protruding lips and excessive incisor wear.
Crowding
Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gums. Not only is crowding unattractive, it has also been linked to periodontal problems and dental decay because it is harder to clean overlapping teeth's surfaces.
Spacing
Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue. Spacing is another popular reason for braces. The opposite of crowding, spacing is most commonly caused by excessive jaw room for the size of the erupting teeth.
Open bite
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. An open bite may be caused a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting or thumb sucking. An early evaluation and intervention is essential in correcting an open bite.
Mismatched Midline
Dental midlines that do not match are evident when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately. This may negatively impact jaw function and proper dental function.
