Fixing Problems

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 to far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.


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 abnormal tooth wear and misaligned jaw growth.


Openbite

Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbite may cause a number of side effects such as tongue thrusting and excessive wear of the back teeth.


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.


Spacing

Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.


Dental Midlines Not Matched

This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw alignment and proper dental function.
