CROSSBITE
Malocclusion (misalignment of teeth) where the upper teeth fit inside of the lower teeth instead of over.
OPENBITE
Can be caused by a number of issues, like tongue thrusting (so that upper and lower teeth don’t meet), finger sucking, or lack of support on the front teeth when biting.
CROWDING
Type of malocclusion that occurs as a result of a “bad bite”. Rather than growing into their correct positions, when the teeth do not have enough room, they will grow in unnatural positions by trying to find space to grow, resulting in competition with other teeth.
DEEPBITE
Upper teeth severely overlap lower teeth, caused by finger sucking, crowded teeth, jaw abnormalities, etc.
SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS
Cases that require a combination of orthodontics as well as surgery
OVERBITE
Upper teeth overlap lower teeth abnormally ( not as severe as deep bite )
UNDERBITE
Occurs when bottom teeth extend past top teeth. Can lead to issues like jaw pain, tooth decay, gum disease, etc
ABNORMAL ERUPTION
Tooth emerges in the wrong place, blocks another from emerging, or emerges at an incorrect angle
STRAIGHTENING
Aligning the teeth to achieve your optimal smile
SPACING/MISALIGNMENT
Mild cases of alignment/malocclusion
JAW DEFORMITIES
Abnormal alignment of upper and/or lower jaw, which can lead to misalignment of teeth/facial appearance
GAP TEETH
Also known as diastema, gap teeth can occur from genetics or habits such as finger sucking
MISSING TEETH
Missing teeth can occur due to teeth decay, congenital defects, trauma, or other factors
Whether you’re looking for subtle change or a dramatic transformation, braces and appliances are an effective way to straighten your teeth naturally, without the risks of veneers and crowns.
