Common Problems

When teeth or jaw structures do not fit together properly, orthodontic treatment may be necessary. Orthodontics can treat a wide variety of teeth and jaw problems. Jaw problems include overbites, underbites, crossbites, deep bites and open bites. Teeth-related problems include crowding, spacing, missing teeth, impacted teeth and extra teeth. If these problems are left untreated, they can cause speech difficulty, premature tooth wear and injury to teeth and jaw joints.
