Common Orthodontic Problems
We provide our services in treating and improving different types of orthodontic problems including the following:
Dental crowding can cause your teeth to become misaligned and twisted if not treated in time. When there is proper alignment, there is just enough space for the teeth to grow in without causing crowding or leaving gaps in between. Dental crowding is common and usually occurs due to genetic problems of jaw size or various external factors. The teeth compete for space even when they are growing, causing them to be pushed into unnatural positions.
Teeth crowding can create a wide range of problems, including:
- Difficulty brushing & flossing
- Bite problems
- Tooth damage
- Bad breath
- Gum disease
The spaces between your teeth can be bothersome and can also interfere with your looks. The right braces can help correct the gaps and improve your bite. We can use cemented retainers to ensure the spaces stay closed. While teeth spacing is sometimes genetic in origin, its cause is many times unknown. Sometimes, it is caused due to habits such as tongue thrust and finger-sucking.
Overbite usually occurs in older adults. It involves the overlapping of the upper front teeth in comparison to the lower front teeth. In a normal bite, the upper teeth will overlap the lower teeth around a third of the way. Overbite can also cause gum recession. If there is significant overbite, our Orthodontist in North Miami Beach, Fl may consider using braces or jaw surgery.
When you have underbite problems, you can suffer from discomfort in the jaw joint. Underbite can also create excess wear on your teeth. Dr. Jones can create a customized treatment plan to make it easier for you to smile and chew. The duration of the treatment will depend on the severity of the problem and your age.
Many times, people don’t have lateral incisors from birth. It is often required to straighten such teeth and replace the missing teeth. Besides the cosmetic concerns, missing lateral incisors can cause jaw and bite problems.
An overjet is a form of bad bite or malocclusion that involves the top front teeth sticking out when compared to the bottom teeth. This creates a horizontal gap between the top and bottom teeth rows. We can help correct an overjet and create a healthy bite by aligning and straightening the teeth. The treatment can include straightening the teeth before helping the jaws to grow more smoothly.
An overjet can be caused due to a combination of factors. In some cases, it is hereditary. The chances can increase if your lower jawbone is underdeveloped which causes the upper teeth to protrude. Sucking fingers or thumb and a tongue thrust can also be contributing factors.
At Esteem Braces & Aligners, we provide orthodontic treatments using different types of braces. This includes:
- Traditional Metal Braces
- Self-Ligating Braces
- Gold Braces
- Clear Braces
- Clear Aligners
- Lingual Braces
- Invisalign
However, braces are not always needed to bring significant changes to teeth alignment. For example, when there is teeth crowding at a young age, braces may not be required. The treatment can also include reducing the width of the surrounding baby teeth and the permanent incisors will get aligned themselves after a few months.
If you are concerned about the health and aesthetics of your child’s emerging permanent teeth, you should bring them to our office. If the upper front teeth have been displaced and the lower front teeth are crowded and touching the palate, we may suggest phase-one treatment. The treatment may take up to 12 months and involve the use of an expander and partial braces.
