Understanding Orthodontic Issues

Orthodontic issues, or malocclusions, can affect anyone at any age. Common problems include:

Crowded Teeth: When there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit normally.
Overbites: When the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively.
Underbites: When the lower teeth are positioned too far forward or the upper teeth too far back.
Crossbites: When the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally.
Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth due to missing teeth or teeth that don’t fill up the mouth.

These issues can stem from genetic factors, early loss of baby teeth, thumb sucking, or jaw injuries. Addressing them is crucial to prevent more serious dental problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and difficulties in chewing or speaking.

Our Orthodontic Services

We offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments to suit every need and lifestyle:

Traditional Metal Braces:
- The most common type of braces, made from high-grade stainless steel.
- Highly effective for complex cases.
- Modern designs are more comfortable and less noticeable than in the past.
Ceramic Braces:
- Made from clear materials and are less visible than metal braces.
- A popular choice for teenagers and adults who prefer a more discreet option.
- Work as effectively as metal braces.
Lingual Braces:
- Placed on the backside of the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
- Customized to fit each patient's teeth.
- Ideal for patients concerned about the aesthetics of braces.
Invisalign®:
- Consists of a series of clear, removable aligners.
- Virtually invisible and easy to remove for eating, brushing, and flossing.

Self-Ligating Braces:
- Use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place.
- Require fewer adjustments and can shorten treatment time.
- Available in metal and ceramic options.
Palatal Expanders:
- Used to widen the upper jaw to create more space for teeth alignment.
- Commonly used in children and pre-teens.
- Helps prevent overcrowding and crossbites.
