Common Orthodontic Problems We Treat & Their Before and After
Crowded Teeth – Creating Space for a Beautiful Smile
Before: Crowded teeth make brushing and flossing difficult, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
After: Using braces or Invisalign, we align your teeth properly, making it easier to maintain oral health and giving you a confident smile.
✅ Solution: Traditional braces, Invisalign, or expanders for severe cases.
Gapped Teeth – Closing Spaces for a Uniform Smile
Before: Large gaps between teeth can affect speech, lead to uneven wear, and reduce confidence in your smile.
After: Braces or clear aligners close these spaces, creating a well-aligned, even smile.
✅ Solution: Braces or Invisalign with space-closing mechanics.
Overbite – Balancing the Bite for Better Function
Before: A deep overbite can cause excessive tooth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty biting into food properly.
After: Orthodontic treatment repositions the teeth and jaw, creating a more balanced, natural bite.
✅ Solution: Braces with elastics or clear aligners with attachments.
Underbite – Correcting Jaw Alignment
Before: An underbite can cause chewing difficulties, speech problems, and jaw strain over time.
After: Orthodontic treatments reposition the lower jaw and align teeth for better function and aesthetics.
✅ Solution: Braces, aligners, and in severe cases, orthognathic surgery.
Open Bite – Ensuring Proper Tooth Contact
Before: An open bite occurs when the front teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed, leading to speech difficulties and chewing inefficiency.
After: Orthodontic treatment aligns the teeth properly, closing the gap and restoring full function.
✅ Solution: Braces, Invisalign, and habit correction appliances if needed.
Crossbite – Fixing Asymmetry for a Healthier Bite
Before: A crossbite, where the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, can cause uneven wear and jaw discomfort.
After: We correct it using braces, clear aligners, or expanders, improving both function and aesthetics.
✅ Solution: Braces with bite correction techniques or Invisalign with elastics.
Ectopic or Impacted Canines – Guiding Teeth into Position
Before: Ectopic or impacted canines occur when the upper canine teeth fail to erupt properly, often growing in the wrong direction or becoming trapped in the gum. This can lead to misalignment, discomfort, and potential damage to surrounding teeth.
After: Orthodontic treatment uses braces, specialized wires, or minor surgical exposure to guide the impacted canines into their correct position, restoring both function and aesthetics.
✅ Solution: Braces with traction techniques, aligners in mild cases, or surgical exposure combined with orthodontic treatment.
Overjet Correction – Bringing Teeth into Proper Alignment
Before: An excessive overjet, where the upper front teeth protrude far beyond the lower teeth, can cause bite imbalances, difficulty closing the lips, and an increased risk of dental trauma.
After: Orthodontic treatment repositions the upper and lower teeth, improving function, facial aesthetics, and bite stability.
✅ Solution: Braces with elastics, functional appliances, or clear aligners with precision attachments.
Facial Improvement with Jaw Growth Direction – Enhancing Natural Development
Before: Improper jaw growth direction can lead to an imbalanced facial profile, misaligned teeth, and difficulty with chewing and speaking.
After: Early orthodontic interventions guide jaw growth in the correct direction, improving facial harmony, bite function, and overall aesthetics.
✅ Solution: Growth modification appliances, expanders, or braces in combination with orthopedic treatments.
Phase I Treatment – Early Intervention for Long-Term Benefits
Before: Developing orthodontic issues in young children, such as crowding, bite misalignment, or narrow jaws, can worsen over time without early intervention.
After: Phase I treatment (interceptive orthodontics) helps create space, improve jaw development, and reduce the need for extensive treatment later.
✅ Solution: Expanders, space maintainers, early braces, or functional appliances tailored to the child’s needs.
Midline Correction – Achieving Symmetry for a Balanced Smile
Before: A shifted dental midline, where the upper and lower front teeth do not align with the center of the face, can indicate bite imbalances or asymmetrical jaw development.
After: Orthodontic treatment repositions the teeth and jaw for a centered, harmonious smile.
✅ Solution: Braces with elastics, clear aligners with targeted adjustments, or bite correction appliances.
