Fixed Metal Braces

Crooked teeth can cause some people to feel self-conscious about their smiles. Aligning crooked teeth not only gives you a great smile but also helps with the general health of your teeth and gums.

Fixed orthodontic braces can correct gaps between the teeth. Gaps can cause oral hygiene issues that may lead to gum or periodontal disease in the future.

An overbite is a dental condition whereby the front teeth (usually at least two of the front teeth) stick out too far beyond the lower teeth.

An underbite occurs when the bottom teeth extend too far in front of the upper teeth and can give the appearance that the jaw is pushing forward.

This is a type of misalignment where a single tooth, or a group of the upper teeth, sits inside the lower teeth. A crossbite can involve the front or back teeth, or occasionally, both.

A healthy bite is when the upper teeth slightly overlap the lower teeth when the mouth is fully closed. In an open bite, the upper and lower teeth have too much space between them and do not touch when the jaw is closed.

This condition occurs when there are too many teeth in relation to the space available in the upper and lower jaw. Crowded teeth can become severely crooked and misaligned if left untreated leading to potential problems in the future.
