Below are some common orthodontic problems you may identify with and want to change.

Crowding

Crowding is the most common orthodontic problem where the teeth do not have enough space to fit in your jaw. Crowding can present itself by the following: overlapping teeth, flared teeth, or narrow arches.

Spacing

Excess spacing can be caused by smaller size of teeth, oversized jaws, or missing teeth.

Overbite

Extra overbite or a deep bite refers to the excessive overlap of the upper and lower front teeth, which can cause lower front teeth to wear down faster.

Learn what to look out for in your or your child's teeth. Below are some common orthodontic problems which require orthodontic intervention to correct.

Openbite

Openbite is when the upper and lower front teeth do not come in contact when biting. It is usually caused by a thumb sucking habit, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, or a skeletal jaw discrepancy.

Underbite

Underbite is when the lower front teeth sit in front of the upper front teeth. It is usually caused by excessive growth of the lower jaw and can cause self-esteem problems, jaw pain, tooth wear, and profile changes.

Gummy Smile

Gummy smile, also known as excessive gum display, is when too much gum tissue shows above your teeth when you smile.

Narrow Smile

A narrow smile is when you see dark space at the corners of your lips when you smile.

Flat Smile

A beautiful smile arc is defined by the edges of the front teeth following along the curvature of the lower lip. In a flat smile, the edges of the upper front teeth appear flat across your lower lip.

Jaw Mismatch

Jaw mismatch is when the upper and lower jaws do not line up correctly and the teeth do not occlude together at the right contact points. Crossbites are common examples of jaw mismatch.

The problems above may be corrected with orthodontic treatment. If you recognize any of these issues within your or your child’s mouth, contact our office to schedule a complimentary consultation.
