Orthodontic Conditions & Bite Problems
Understand the most common orthodontic issues affecting alignment, function, and facial balance, and how they can be corrected with advanced treatment.
Dental Crowding
Crowding occurs when there is insufficient space for the teeth to align properly. Orthodontic treatment repositions the teeth to create balance, function, and a harmonious smile.
Tooth Spacing
Gaps between teeth can affect both aesthetics and bite function. Orthodontic treatment helps close spaces and improve overall smile harmony.
Deep Bite (Overbite)
A deep bite occurs when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, which may lead to wear, discomfort, and functional issues. Treatment restores a balanced bite.
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. Early correction helps prevent uneven wear and jaw-related complications.
Jaw Asymmetry
Jaw asymmetry occurs when the upper and lower jaws are not properly aligned. Treatment may include orthodontics and, in some cases, surgical correction to restore balance.
Abnormal Eruption
Abnormal eruption occurs when teeth develop or emerge outside their normal position. Orthodontic treatment guides teeth into proper alignment.
Class III Bite (Underbite)
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth. Orthodontic treatment improves bite alignment, function, and facial balance.
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed. Orthodontic treatment corrects alignment and restores proper function.
Spacing Between Teeth
A deep bite occurs when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, which may lead to wear, discomfort, and functional issues. Treatment restores a balanced bite.
