Open Bite, Teeth Crowding Treatment

Openbite

An openbite is when the upper and lower teeth do not meet in the front when you bite down. Though it can sometimes be hereditary, an openbite can also be caused by missing, impacted or extra teeth, or habits such as thumbsucking, prolonged bottle-feeding or poor-fitting dental restorations.

Overjet, Teeth Crowding Treatment

Overjet

Overjet refers to a condition in which the upper front teeth seem to be more noticeable and stick out compared to the lower front teeth. This horizontal separation exceeds the regular 2 millimetres. Depending on the severity and stage of the condition, orthodontic treatment may be recommended.

Cross Bite, Teeth Crowding Treatment

Crossbite

Crossbite is when the upper teeth fit on the inside of the lower teeth. Crossbites can be caused by the position of teeth, the position of the jaw or both. When it comes to a crossbite, early intervention treatment is ideal as it can cause severe pain in the jaw and supporting muscles as a child grows older, but it can also be treated in adults.

Crowded Teeth, Teeth Crowding Treatment

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth are a condition in which there is not enough space in the mouth for permanent teeth to grow straight. As a result, people with this condition have crooked teeth that overlap. The type of treatment required for dental crowding depends on the patient’s age, and whether the condition is mild, moderate or severe.
