There are many reasons people seek out teeth straightening treatments. Some people are naturally born with small jaws or crooked or protruding teeth in East Maitland or they may simply wish to have some adjustment of their teeth alignment. Here are a few of the common reasons you might seek the care for:
If you have had teeth extracted and as a result now have extra space in your mouth, you may find that there are large gaps starting to show. Spacing issues can lead to gum problems as teeth have less protection.
An overbite is another common reason why people look for orthodontics solutions. This occurs when the top or upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. Ongoing problems can present later in life and cause uneven wear on the bottom teeth. The opposite situation, an underbite, can be just as problematic and painful unless resolved.
If you were born with a relatively small jaw, there may be a problem with overcrowding when there is simply a lack of room for all of your teeth to fit as required. Left unaddressed, you can have severely crooked teeth and this can lead to further complications with dental hygiene. If this is the case for you, talk to our specialist today, so we can begin planning your treatment.
