Braces
Every mouth is different. That’s why it’s vital to work with a certified orthodontist. They take the time to really get to know your mouth, jaws and teeth, inside and out. That way, they can come up with a super thorough, totally personalized plan on how to help get your bite back on track.
There are many reason why we can need braces, the most common are:
Jams, gaps and other spacing issues
Teeth can grow in too close together or a little too far apart. You can also develop gaps from having too few teeth, or an overcrowded smile from having too many.
Underbite
Underbite happens when your lower jaw grows too much or your upper jaw doesn’t grow enough. When you have an underbite, your lower teeth extend further than your upper teeth do. A mild underbite is easily corrected with braces and other external expanders. More severe cases need to be treated surgically.
It’s so important to treat your underbite quickly. Left untreated, underbites can be painful and make chewing, swallowing, speaking, and even breathing difficult. On top of everything, they can cause facial deformities, too.
Cross bite
A cross bite is when one or more of your upper teeth lands behind your lower teeth when you bite. You can have a cross bite on the front or the side of your mouth.
Deep overbite
Overbite is the overlap between your upper and lower teeth. A little overbite is normal—most people’s lower teeth rest just behind their upper teeth, and that’s fine. When you have a deep overbite, your lower front teeth touch your upper gums or the roof of your mouth when you bite.
Overjet
With an overjet, your upper teeth stick out away from your lower teeth. Even with this condition, you may still have a good bite. Your lower teeth can still meet with the bases of your upper teeth if you have an overjet, but your top teeth will still jut out at an angle.
