Family Orthodontics

The treatment of misaligned jaws and teeth in the mouth is known as orthodontics. In addition to being harder to clean, teeth that are misaligned or fit poorly might be more vulnerable to gum disease and decay. Inadequate alignment may also cause stress on the chewing muscles and teeth, which can lead to headaches and back or shoulder discomfort.

In addition to improving oral health, orthodontic treatment may enhance the appearance of your smile. Additionally, your teeth could last a lot longer, giving you a smile that will look amazing for the rest of your life.

Even though you may think that you need braces or other orthodontic treatment based on the way your smile looks, only a dentist can properly assess your orthodontic problems and decide 

whether you would benefit from receiving orthodontic therapy. To figure out how to fix your problems, your dentist may do examinations, X-rays, and models of your teeth. A patient may be a suitable candidate for orthodontic treatment if they meet certain criteria, such as:

·       Overbite: Front teeth are too far forward

·       Underbite: Lower teeth are too far forward/Upper teeth too far back

·       Open bite: Space between teeth when they come together

·       Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth meet when biting together

·       Spacing: Gaps or spaces exist between teeth

·       Crowding: The dental arch cannot accommodate the teeth in the mouth
