Common Problems

When the teeth or jaws do not align properly, orthodontic treatment is often necessary to correct the issue. If left untreated, these problems, known as malocclusions, can lead to speech difficulties, premature wear of teeth and enamel, and increase the risk of injury to the teeth and jaw joints.

Underbite

The lower jaw extends too far, causing lower front teeth to sit in front of upper front teeth.

Crossbite

Upper teeth sit inside lower teeth, affecting jaw growth and causing misalignment.

Upper Front Teeth Protrusion

Upper teeth extend too far forward, or lower teeth don't extend enough.

Overbite

Upper teeth overlap too much, sometimes causing lower teeth to hit the roof of the mouth.

Crowding

Teeth lack space to erupt, often leading to alignment issues and difficulty cleaning.

Spacing

Too much space between teeth, often due to missing teeth or alignment issues.

Openbite

Upper and lower front teeth don't overlap, affecting chewing and causing habits like tongue thrusting.

Midlines not Matched

Back bite misalignment can affect jaw function and dental health.
