Orthodontics Gerrards Cross

Orthodontic issues are common dental problems that many individuals face. The alignment and positioning of the teeth can lead to difficulties in chewing, speaking and even self-confidence. Fortunately, there are various orthodontic treatments available to correct these problems and improve overall oral health.

Overbite

One of the most common orthodontic issues is an overbite. This occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth. An overbite can cause aesthetic concerns and may also lead to jaw pain or difficulty in biting properly.

Underbite

Similarly, an underbite is another prevalent orthodontic problem where the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth when biting down. This issue can result in difficulties with speech and chewing correctly.

Crossbite

Crossbite is yet another orthodontic issue that occurs when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside them. This misalignment can cause uneven wear on certain teeth and potentially lead to jaw pain or dysfunction if left untreated.

Teeth Overcrowding

Crowding is a common concern where there isn’t enough space in the mouth for all of the adult teeth to properly align. This can lead to overlapping or twisted teeth, making it challenging to clean them effectively and increasing the risk of tooth decay or gum disease.

Advancements in orthodontics have led to various treatment options for correcting the above-mentioned issues. Clear braces such as Invisalign have gained popularity due to their discreet appearance and gentle approach. These custom-made aligners gradually shift teeth into their proper positions without using metal brackets or wires.

Dental implants can also significantly change the appearance of your smile and may be recommended depending on your orthodontic needs.

Orthodontic treatment not only improves aesthetics but also plays a significant role in overall oral health by creating a balanced bite, reducing strain on jaw joints, improving speech clarity and preventing potential dental issues down the line.
