Common Orthodontic Problems
If you notice the following problems, contact us to schedule an appointment
Underbite
The lower jaw extends out, causing the lower – front teeth to sit in front of the upper – front teeth.
Spacing
Extra space between teeth are caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
Upper-Front Teeth Protrusion
The upper teeth extend too far forward or the lower teeth do not extend far enough forward.
Crowding
Teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum.
Crossbite
The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth.
Overbite
Teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum.
Openbite
The upper-and lower-front teeth do not overlap.
Dental Midlines not Matched
The back bite does not fit and match appropriately.
