Common Orthodontic Problems

Eleviate pain & beautify your bite

  • Upper Front Teeth 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.
  • Crowding: Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.
  • Overbite: The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
  • Crossbite: The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
  • Underbite: Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper teeth sit behind the lower front teeth. Underbite may cause problems with chewing, swallowing, and/or speaking.
  • Spacing: Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
  • Mis-Matched Dental Midlines: This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw and proper dental function.
