Treatable Cases
- Gapped teeth – Gapped teeth is caused by abnormal jawbone growth patterns or missing teeth. Gapped teeth can lead to gum problems, periodontal pockets, and increase your risk of periodontal disease.
- Overbite – Overbite is when the upper teeth protrude past the lower teeth. This can lead to gum problem, gum irritation, wear on the lower teeth, jaw pain, and joint pain.
- Open Bite – Open bite is when some teeth do not make contact with their opposing tooth, ie, the upper molars do not bite against the lower molars. An open bite can cause poor or painful chewing, speech impediment, or more severe issues like Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ).
- Crowded Teeth – Crowded teeth occurs when there isn’t enough room in your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. Untreated, crowded teeth can result in crooked teeth. Crowding can cause severe plaque, tooth decay, and increased chance of gum disease.
- Crossbite – Crossbite is when both the upper and lower jaws are misaligned, which causes the upper teeth to bite inside of the lower teeth. Crossbite can cause teeth wearing, gum disease, and bone loss.
